Why did I receive more than one supplemental tax bill?
You may receive more than one supplemental tax bill, depending on when you purchased your property or completed new construction. Because the secured property taxes are based on the January 1 value and cover a fiscal year, your purchase / construction date may effect the calculation of the taxes for two fiscal years. For example, if you purchased property in February 1998, your purchase would effect the 1997/98 fiscal year taxes (February 1998 through June 1998) and the 1998 to 1999 fiscal year taxes (July 1998 through June 1999). The latter fiscal year is effected because the value would have already been established by the Assessor on January 1, 1998, prior to the purchase/construction. Therefore, the taxes calculated for 1998 to 1999 would also have to be adjusted by a supplemental bill to reflect the increased value.
