Not sure if your county assesses like Wake County, but in Raleigh, my last actual tax assessment value was determined in 2008, probably based on 2007 sales, and we pay taxes on that value until reassessed in 8 years (maybe 6 years, not really sure).

e.g. area code, city, county, etc.

My county website doesnt provide anything like that, any alternatives?

So, to help you in this current example, simply tell your seller you agree to do so, however, to be able to do it legally and ethically, you will require another a purchase contract that is assignable or better yet, an option contract which you should record with the county recorders office.

Now, add attorney fees, etc.In Colorado, the county auctions the uncollected taxes to the general public.

We found out later that the house was actually listed on the MLS but was under the wrong county (?)

In Atlanta I lived in Lilburn, Buford (by the Mall of GA), & McDonough (Henry county)

Then warn them if they do not do something they may face fines or action by city/county.

I would look to Arlington, Fairfax and even Prince William and Loudon Counties in Virginia.

We find out almost immediately that the foreclosure deed was never recorded in the county of the property.
