I’m no expert on this but this but the government doesn’t usually send you reminders to pay your taxes. You have to be responsible for that yourself.

Your house was probably reassessed after the sale which caused the initial jump.

Once again I’m no expert but I believe they will contact your employer and garnish your wages for overdue tax bills as well.

We were notified of the reassessment and our escrow account paid the amount billed for the difference - I am at a loss for why they would not have notified us of any additional amounts owing and wait for nearly seven years.

When I was young I would always blow off my local taxes because I couldn’t file them online like my other taxes. I would usually get a letter from a collection agency about 3-4 years after and I would just pay it then. With a COVID slowdown of a year or two I could see this process dragging out even longer.

Glad you're not young anymore? and hope you're paying your taxes in a timely fashion these days.

Young people don’t always make the most prudent decisions.
