§ 8763 Assessment Release Requirements

• •You can't cancel or give up on a property tax bill until all late payments, interest, and fines are paid in full.
• •The government must officially record the decision to cancel the tax bill with the county treasurer.
• •This rule applies to all land involved in the tax bill, no matter which county it's in.

Imagine you own a piece of land and you owe property taxes on it. You've missed a few payments, and now you owe extra money because of late fees and interest.

You can't just decide to stop paying the taxes or ask the government to forget about the bill. You have to pay everything you owe, including the late fees. Then, the government has to officially write down that you've paid everything and send that paper to the county treasurer. Only then is the tax bill really gone.
