Under contract for a property to close end of October. Seller is the estate of a gentleman(86y) who recently passed. He was claiming a 65year+ property tax exemption so was paying $6,000 a year. We will not be able to claim this, and will loose his rate freeze so our taxes will be closer to $18,000.
Our option period ends Friday and title is being slow to respond so I'm asking here.
1) If Title pays the tax bill based on exemptions at closing, is there a scenario that the county will come back after to collect the non-exempted portion? We have no issue if it's prorared just for 2 months, but are scared they'll want a full 18,000
