When you are searching for homes on ZipRealty.com this week, be sure to ask me if the current taxes are listed on the MLS sheet. Listing agents are in a transition and by March 1 the agents will be fined if 2009 taxes are not reflected on the listing. In the meantime, it can be confusing to wonder which bill is correct. I will verify them for you if you'd like.
Additionally, if you have never owned a home before you may not know that owner occupied homes receive a discount on their property taxes. There is an MLS field that indicates whether there is a homeowner exemption or a senior exemption. Both lower the tax burden if eligible. This is important to know whether your taxes would be the same or adjusted based on your situation of being owner occupied.
