A real estate assessment can be increased by the local assessor to reflect new construction before a certificate of occupancy (CO) is issued. The local assessor may make an on-site inspection to determine the level of completeness of construction or make an assumption that the structure is complete without an inspection. The local building inspector (usually from a separate department of the city or county) may make a separate inspection before issuing a CO. However, many local assessors use the CO as a trigger that alerts them to a completed structure. Although assessing and building inspections may be separate departments, their computer systems are often linked. Please call to your local assessor to get specifics for your city, county, or state.

Who is responsible for back taxes on a quitclaim deed?
It is the responsibility of the land owner to pay the property taxes. If a land owner is selling property for which back taxes are owed the payment of the taxes can be part of the negotiations for the sale of the land. However, the issue must be addressed prior to the sale.It is up to the purchaser of property to make certain the property taxes have been paid by the seller at the time of the purchase. If the buyer doesn't demand proof the taxes have been paid BEFORE the sale, the land will be acquired SUBJECT TO any back taxes owed. If land is purchased for which back taxes are owed the new owner will be responsible for paying the back taxes or the town will take possession of the property.The purchase of real property should always be supervised by an attorney. One of the first items on the land purchase check list is to obtain a certificate from the town that states the taxes are paid.
Is it a fraudulent transfer if the buyer of a forclosed commercial property did not pay the taxes owed for nearly one year?
Payment of delinquent property taxes are governed by state law. In general taxes due on property acquired by foreclosure are due at time of sale. Some states do have laws granting a grace period under specific circumstances. If the law required taxes to be paid at the time of sale, and they weren't, the sale is not valid.
What reasoning supported tying the right to vote property ownership?
Before 1920, most taxes were assessed on property. When all taxes are based on property, it makes sense to restrict voting to property owners. When non-property owners are voting on property TAXES, the non-owner is has no reason not to vote for higher taxes that he won't be paying. Since the advent of the income tax, even people who don't own property are paying taxes, so the voter rolls needed to be expanded. Here in 2014, the disconnect between paying taxes and voting is becoming bad again.
