1. Each state in the United States sets a tax day or effective date for real estate taxes or personal property taxes. For example, if I received a real estate tax bill in May that is due June 5, I may be legally responsible for paying the bill because I owned the property on tax day January 1, 2010. If you sold the property or transferred the ownership on or after tax day you may have contractually assigned the responsibility to another party, but the local taxing district may still send the bill to you because you were the owner according to their records as of tax day.
2. The document that evidences the transfer of ownership may not have been recorded before the date the local taxing district prepared their property ownership files for mailing tax bills. Local taxing districts do not consider a change in ownership until a document is recorded at the Register of Deeds Office or similar office at the city or county court building. Some financial institutions that have foreclosed on residential properties have waited months before recording foreclosure documents. In this interim period the taxing authority still considers the property to be owned by the former owner. Some lenders are waiting until they resell the property and recording all of the documents at the some time, but this can be months later.
