Best Answer

The seller is responsible for all property taxes assessed for the period through the date of sale. The buyer is responsible for all property taxes thereafter.

Remember in most states that property tax is paid in arrears which means you are paying for a time period of 3-6 months prior to the current date. On a HUD 1 closing statement those time periods and costs are clearly shown.
