When purchasing or selling a home, the closing title company often pro-rates the taxes based on the amount of time each party lived in the home. However, not all taxing authorities operate on the same fiscal year. To help better understand, we have provided a list below of the fiscal year sheets. Each one contains a breakdown of the taxing authorities and their corresponding fiscal year.
