Closing-Day Recheck — Municipal property tax
Primary official evidence
Refresh the municipality record for the same property and period: current property-tax value, relevant tax year, owner/payer information and available debt/payment status. Do not rely on a value or receipt from an earlier year without checking the current record. On the completion date, rely on the latest official position for facts that can change and resolve any material mismatch before signature or release of funds.
Key verification points
Use the property identifiers available in the municipality and sale/registry files and confirm they refer to the same asset. If address, parcel, unit or owner data create a material mismatch, resolve it before using the value in the transfer file.
Document and identity reconciliation
No. A receipt proves the payment shown on it, not the absence of later charges or another period balance. Compare current municipality debt/balance information with the receipts retained in the file.
Timing and change risk
It is complete when the current-year/period municipality record is tied to the same property, owner/payer information and debt/payment status are understood, and the value used in the transfer file agrees with that current record.
Decision standard
Use the current value applicable to the transaction period and update every transfer calculation or document that depended on the old figure. Keep the older value only as history, not as the controlling closing value.
