Warnings

Assessment, market value, annual levy, account balance, payments, arrears, penalties, supplementary bills, local improvements, credits, exemptions and instalment rules vary by municipality and property and require current official evidence.
A scheduled or bank-processed payment is not proof that the correct municipal roll received the payment. Reconcile the current account and retain receipts.
Assessment complaints, corrections or appeals do not automatically suspend payment, remove penalties, transfer credits or establish a tax reduction.
The agreement and lawyer/notary statement control tax-period allocation, closing-day treatment, holdbacks, adjustments and final cash required.
Never enter banking or trust-account details in this public tool or send money using unverified instructions.
