Hi All looking for some expert advice/knowledge. My mom is set up to meet with a bk lawyer next week and one of the things that she has is back property taxes at the tune of probably 7500-9000. We live in a small town and they have been good and work with her as she has been out of work for awhile with a workers comp injury. So my question is are the property taxes dishchargeable in BK7 she is going to keep her house she does own it free and clear and our state exemption is $125,000 and the tax appraisal is 114,700. I am just wondering because technically the house is kind of collateral in a since with property taxes. I am did find this online but have trouble figuring it out.
Recent property taxes. If a property tax is incurred before you file for bankruptcy, the tax is nondischargeable. However, this only applies to property taxes last payable within one year of your bankruptcy filing. You can discharge your personal liability for property taxes that were payable (without penalty) more than one year before your bankruptcy filing. Keep in mind, though, that many counties attach a lien to your property upon upon assessment or one year afterwards. If you have a lien against your property for the property tax, that lien will remain after your Chapter 7 discharge (although your personal liability will be removed). T
From what I gather that she will be responsible for paying whatever years was the last but the rest will just be a lien on the house and if and when she sells her home she will have to pay them? Any help on this would be great we are just trying to figure everything out. She will be talking to her lawyer about this as well just wanted to see if anyone had some experience or knowledge about this. Thanks as always
I hope this helps.
