I was more or less expecting this, as I closed on the property in December and the deed was recorded in the very last days of 2018.I called the AC property tax office on Saturday, left a message on their machine, clearly stated I planned to call them back on Monday.At 9:00 am today, the office called me up, figured out what was wrong, got me connected to the right guy in the department to correct the issue and send out the correct tax bill, apologized for the mistake.My legal first name is extremely ethnic and I have never gone by it here in the USA.
