Real Estate
Real Estate taxes are assessed to the owner of record as of December 31st of each year for the current calendar year. For example, the real estate tax bill for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2023 (mailed in July 2022) covers the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

Prorated Real Estate taxes (also referred to as Addendum Tax Bills) are assessed as of the date of the Certificate of Occupancy (CO), for the number of days from the CO date to the end of the calendar year. For example, if a CO is issued on October 1, 2022, the homeowner would receive a pro-rated tax bill covering the period October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, or 92 days.
