I bought a home/plan to buy a home after September 1. How do I make sure that everything is recorded properly?

Anyone having a real estate transaction after September 1 will not get their real estate tax bill. Our office has faxed every real estate office, title company, bank, savings and loan, and mortgage loan company asking them to tell their clients purchasing homes from September through the end of the year that they must call our office (816-407-3200) to get the payment owed in order to make the December 31st deadline for payment. You as the current owner are responsible for all taxes due on the property. Please read below if the name of the previous owner is on your tax statement.  more
