County Property Taxes

County Property TaxesAs taxes become due, there are many frequently asked questions. We wanted to take the time to review some of the details of paying property taxes. The county appraiser values your property every year and then gives that information to the county clerk. Your county will notify you of the newly assessed value; however, Countrywide may not be notified of the new tax information until the end of the year. Thus, your escrow account may not reflect the change in taxes until we are notified by your county. In Kansas, taxes are split in half and are due by Dec. 20th and May 10th, paid in arrears. In Missouri, taxes are paid in full at the end of the year.
