Thanks :) We did contact both the borough and county tax offices, and they told us exactly what the bills we recieved in the mail said, Half of what we were giving them. The county office thought that since it was a parcel of 'developed' land (that the park owners were also paying on) That they may have combined the house tax and the land tax in one bill for them. Once the house was transfered to us, then the bill lowered for us because all we were paying on, was the house. They said the house (mobile home) had been just what our bill said, the rest was for the land. So, now to find out what we could do to get reimbersed for the extra taxes we paid to the park.

Our paperwork from the sale of the property didn't mention taxes at all, as they were supposed to 'look into' what the taxes were exactly, and let us know.. It was just an oral agreement. to pay them a set amount monthly for taxes on a seperate check marked taxes, which we have been doing. Nothing on paper.That was 5 years ago, and they never did let us know, despite us asking them to look into it repeatedly, they always had excuses as to why they didn't have the info yet. The main one being that the new office people didn't know about it.. And it seemed like there was new office help every other month.

Anyway, thanks for the advice and the answer to our question. - Fri Jul 25 2008, 10:42
