I just bought this property. Why am I being billed for last year's taxes?

Taxes levied on real and personal property are a perpetual lien on the  property without respect to ownership and have priority over all liens  until they are paid in full. The buyer and seller must settle who is  responsible for the tax liability. Generally, at the closing the title  company will collect a pro rata share of the current year's taxes from  the seller and credit it to the buyer. Please review your closing  papers. Call us for more information at 303-271-8330.
