    Property taxes and house discharge

    Does anyone know who is responsible for property taxes on a house which is being discharged (just filled) and/or being forclosed on? Since we'll be surrendering the house will we have to pay the property tax on it? I just got a bill for winter taxes but it's not due until March.
    Thanks, Edyta

    You'll be responsible for all the taxes up until the the date on which ownership was transferred.

    Good Luck!

        Were you given a specific date to vacate? Yes, typcially the mortgage company would be responsible for the taxes thereafter.

          Actually no, we just filled BK and when I spoke with the mortgage company they asked only if I planned to sell the house and for my lawyers name and phone number. I briefly mentioned to them that at the end of the BK we would like to move.

            My attorney told me not to pay the taxes on the property we were surrendering since it follows the mortgage and not the individual.

              I definitely owed back property taxes on the house I gave up in my Ch 7 so we'll see how long it will take them to come after me for it!

                I'm confused, should I make an attempt to pay? The winter taxes are due Feb 28th at $550 which I don't have?

                  I wouldn't pay them. My lawyer told me not to pay them and also I read it in the book Debt Free. Best thing to do is ask your lawyer. :o

                    I haven't paid mine and they've made no attempt at collection. I'm sure finances are tight right now so I honestly wouldn't worry about paying them if I were you. Keep your money for the lawyer fees and for starting over.
