<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Hello,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">I wonder if anyone has encountered a similar situation - have a client who has owned a property for decades. It was in her husband’s family before they acquired in the 1980’s.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">The county has ascribed two separate tax accounts on it that she has been paying for years. One valid info, but the other makes no sense/ not tied to her property.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Essentially paying taxes for a phantom lot for at least 30 years!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Clearly the goals are (1) stop paying (client is addressing this with county) and (2) getting some dollars back. Realizing the latter to be an uphill battle, I’m mostly throwing out the issue to see if others have had experience, thoughts, war stories?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">As always, thanks for your input.</div>
