You should have been able to show that the additional taxes were due to a re-assessment during another owner's time. That 5k should be an unsecured property tax lien in the previous owner's name. I've paid dozens of such unsecured bills because the tax assessor can't possibly get to the re-assessments before I re-sell. Of course, that's when the transfers generated higher values. There aren't too many of those around these days. But as you can see from the quit claim the previous owner filed, it did generate a re-assessment, and the a bill based on the new amount. I doubt you can get the county to refund your money. I also know of no way you can prevent this from happening. : Should we file small claims on tax assessor? : tax roll showed 2k taxes when we picked up the foreclosure deal at the auction. A few months later, tax roll showed 7k higher, not supplemental but due to some assessment that had taken place a year before the sale but not reflected on tax roll. Some quit claim during previous owner's time had triggered the re-assessment wheels a year before we purchased and the wheels completed their turn months after we picked it up. WTF? Had to pay to resell the deal. Should we file small claims to get it back?
