What period of time does a tax bill cover?
Motor vehicle and personal property tax bills that are due in July cover the time from the previous October to the current September. There is no statutory rule concerning the time period covered by real estate tax bills. If you buy or sell real estate, adjustments for real estate taxes will be made by the attorneys who are handling the closing. Care should be taken to ensure taxes are paid, particularly when a closing occurs within sixty days of a tax due date.
