Q
uestion: I didn’t get the property tax bill for my home, and now I have to pay the late penalty. Do you have any suggestions for how to fill out the waiver application? Answer: The responsibility for finding out how much your property tax bill is falls on every homeowner. Even if you don’t receive a bill, you’re obligated to get the information and make the payment on time, or you will be assessed a late fee. That’s what has happened to you. Have you tried to find out why you didn’t receive a tax bill? Is the address incorrect in the records? Did one of your neighbors get it by accident? I suggest you fill out the waiver honestly, and simply point out that in however many years of living in the property you have paid your tax bill on time and in full (if this is true) and that you did not receive the tax bill through the United States Mail. I’d hope there would be some leniency, but given the dire nature of most state budgets, I’m guessing you’ll have to pay the penalty.
