Supplementary Tax bill
Hi all,
We bought a house in Stouffville earlier on this year. The house was built and took possession by the last owner in 2012.
We just got a supplementary tax bill for part of 2012, 2013, and part of 2014 (up until we close), which is addressed to our name on our tax account. We called the city and was told that the lawyer can take care of it. We have contacted our lawyer, pending for a response since it's the long weekend but still a bit paranoid. It's over $5k. Is this a normal thing? Will we be held accountable for this amount owing when the tax bill was clearly supposed to be paid by the original owner?
Thanks for any insight.
