When I bought my house, the attorney said the next tax bill would be paid. You show that I still owe it! Where did my money go?

There are 2 common reasons for a bill to show a balance after you have provided for your payment.

  1. The bills were calculated and printed before your payment was received.
  2. Some attorneys will forward the payment from a closing at the end of one fiscal year, before we’re able to post to the new fiscal year. For example, a June closing may mean your payment is due for August 1st. You’ll have a credit balance that can’t be transferred until the new year is available for posting.
