Supplemental Property Taxes
When property changes ownership, the County Assessor is required by California property tax law to revalue property to determine the property taxes owed. This means when you buy a house, expect to receive one or supplemental tax bills, depending on when your escrow closes.
If you have an impound account, the supplemental tax bills are not mailed to your lender to pay through your impound account. It is your responsibility to pay these bills directly to the Tax Collector.
If you have any questions concerning this, contact your local Tax Collector’s Office.
