I bought my property during the year, when will it be assessed in my name and who is responsible for the taxes?

As soon as the new deed is recorded in the Recorder of Deed’s office, the Assessor’s file will reflect the change. In most instances, the seller’s portion of taxes is credited at the closing and the buyer is responsible for the full year of taxes. Refer to your settlement statement or contact the title company that you closed through if you have further questions.
