I received my real estate tax bill and the previous owner’s name still appears on the bill. When will the previous owner’s name be removed?

Taxes on real estate are assessed to the person who is the owner on record as of January 1.  When a property is sold, the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds will notify the Assessor’s Office with new owner information.  The legal owner file is then updated by the Assessor’s Office.  All questions regarding ownership should be directed to the Assessor’s Office at 508.378.1609.
