Why did I receive a tax bill if I sold my property?

The Town of Nags Head reviews property transfers on a monthly basis to try and keep current on properties that have sold or transferred.  Tax bills are usually mailed to the owner of record as of January 1st and then we also mail a tax bill to the new owner. You may want to contact your closing attorney to review how taxes were prorated and distributed at the time of your closing. Unpaid taxes are advertised in the name of the owner on the date the tax becomes delinquent.
