Property tax relief and possible tax adjustments

OnTrac includes a notice about possible tax adjustments connected to recent legislation creating an inflation cap for certain property value increases. The notice explains that qualifying second-half tax bills may be adjusted because the changes could not be included in first-half tax bills.

Not all parcels are eligible for the credit. If a full-year tax bill is paid and the final amount is revised by the second-half collection, an overpayment may be issued as a credit or refund to the account.

Check OnTrac for updates before relying on a full-year amount when a parcel may be affected by the tax adjustment notice.

Delinquent taxes and foreclosure information

OnTrac includes delinquent and foreclosure information, including delinquent and foreclosure overview links, sheriff sale information, foreclosure indicators, bankruptcy indicators, and tax lien indicators on parcel records.

The Treasurer’s office also has a public page for delinquent land tax documents. Use the parcel record and Treasurer information together when reviewing a property with delinquent tax or foreclosure concerns.
