Legally, the assessors must retain the owner of record as of January 1, 2010 for Fiscal Year 2011. If you purchased the property after January 1, 2010, by law we will carry both your name and the legal owner as of January 1, 2010. For Fiscal Year 2012, the legal owner as of January 1, 2011 will be maintained. This is when the prior owner would be removed and your name would be the only name appearing on the ownership record.
