So I bought a house 6 months ago in San Jose and just received a letter stating my property tax is now 1800 more a year. They are saying my property taxes didn't include my down payment and now it will. We put 20% down and put the taxes in our payment. Wtf! Is this what you guys go through? Can I protest this?

My ex went through this a few years ago. After about six months of owning the house she got a letter probably similar to yours stating that they haven't received any taxes so far. She got on the phone with the mortgage company and they dealt with the problem for her. It turns out that there was no issue at all, just that some local governments are really fucking bad at keeping records and shit just getting mixed up.

Call who ever is servicing your loan to clarify. I would then call the Santa Clara County tax collector. I would go through your closing/lending paper work too. All that should be documented in there.

My bank handles my tax payment but I still receive what looks to be a bill. It's just a copy. But it's possible your first payment is short and needs to be adjusted since the bank just estimates your tax assessment. My first one was short and my mortgage payment adjusted after that.

Property tax is about 1% of the purchase price. Look into your papers and see what was allocated. It's probably just the county paperwork behind schedule since you include the tax in your mortgage payment .i pay my tax separately.

I got the same type of letter about our property tax. Our lender told us to expect something like this and not to worry about it. If we were led wrong we would call our title holder and have them fix our payment.

Supplemental is a one time tax adjustment based on the difference between the previous owners tax base vs how much you purchased the home for. If you have an escrow account send them a copy and ask them to incorporate that bill in your payment and they'll probably pay it and add it to your monthly for the next 12 months. But it's already after 12-10 you probably have a penalty now. Prop taxes are typically 1% from the county but the additional bonds and assessments bring it closer to 1.25% if not more in certain areas.

Thanks for the reply. The letter stated they need half by end of jan. I'll double check it and make some phone calls. Thanks again .
