Tax Liens Every May, the City sends 30-Day Notices to Lien to owners and their mortgage holder(s) who have not paid their taxes in full for the current year. The Notice states that the City will place a lien on the property if the taxes, interest and fees due are not paid in full by the end of the 30 days. A lien is a document that is recorded in June, with the Penobscot County Registry of Deeds stating that taxes are owed on the property. It is valid for 18 months from the stage of filing. If the City does not receive payment in full within 18 months of the filing of the lien, the lien automatically forecloses and the City will own the property. Income Tax Preparation Tips For most taxpayers, the property taxes paid in a given timetable year will be from two variegated Brewer tax bills. This is considering the City’s fiscal year runs from July-June, and taxpayers often opt to pay their taxes in two installments: the first in September and the second in March. Thus, for the typical, on-time taxpayer, the value of property tax paid in a given timetable year that you might report on that year’s income tax form would include the following: The value you paid in March of that timetable year (the 2nd installment of the tax snout you received the previous August) The value you paid in September of that timetable year (the 1st installment of the tax snout you received in August of that timetable year). The Brewer Tax Office can squire you with your payment history if necessary, but for fast reference, we encourage you to alimony a reprinting of your tax bills and payments receipts with your income tax records.
