 Supplemental
Real Estate Bills
Supplemental assessments are performed by the Assessor's Office
throughout the tax year on NEW CONSTRUCTION or ADDITIONS. If you
are the current property owner, you are responsible for ensuring
that these supplemental taxes are paid.
Frequently Asked Questions About Supplemental Bills
Why am I getting another bill? I thought I had already
paid real estate taxes.
Regular first and second half real estate billings due June 5 and
October 5 include only the assessed property value as of January
1. Therefore, this separate bill is generated for the additional
value of any new construction/addition.
How is this supplemental tax calculated?
Supplemental tax is calculated on the assessed value of the construction/addition
over the time period that it existed, not the full year. For example,
if an addition was completed in October, the tax would be calculated
over three months only (October, November, December). You should
have previously received a separate valuation notice from the County
Assessor's Office when the supplemental assessment was performed.
Questions regarding the assessment value or applicable dates should
be directed to the County Assessor (804-365-6026 or 804-365-6029,
e-mail medaughtrey@co.hanover.va.us).
Why did I get this bill? My mortgage company normally pays the
tax.
Mortgage companies request only your regular semi-annual bills.
Your mortgage company does NOT receive a copy of this supplemental
bill. If your mortgage company normally pays your real estate tax,
promptly notify it of the due date and amount.
Do I have to pay if I purchased the property this year?
If you purchased the property this year, review your closing
documents to determine if the seller credited you for the taxes
due up to the day of closing. If you were credited and have questions about the payment of
the taxes, please contact your closing attorney. You and/or your
mortgage company are still responsible for the taxes.
Do I have to pay if I sold the property this year?
If you sold the property anytime after January 1st, please fill
in the new owner information requested on the bottom portion of
the back of the bill and return the bill to the Treasurer.
