Tax Proration and Responsibility: (UPDATED)  The 2024 real estate taxes shall be paid by the Seller at or before closing. The 2025 tax credit will be handled as follows:

If the property sells to more than one Buyer, the Seller and Buyers agree that the 2025 real estate taxes shall not be prorated at closing. Instead, the Seller shall deposit into escrow with Monroe County Title Company an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the 2024 total tax bill for the entire property. These funds shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to a separate Tax Escrow Holdback Agreement.

Once the 2025 tax bills are issued in 2026, the Escrow Agent shall pay the taxes due for each newly created parcel as determined by the final survey and assessor allocation. Any remaining funds after payment of said taxes shall be refunded to the Seller.

If the escrowed funds are insufficient to cover the 2025 taxes, each Buyer shall be responsible for paying their proportional share of the remaining balance based on acreage purchased.

If the property sells to a single Buyer, the Seller shall provide a credit to the Buyer at closing equal to one (1) times the 2024 tax bill amount in lieu of establishing a tax escrow.

The tax credit is calculated using information provided by the Assessor’s Office and is accurate to the best of the Seller’s and Auction Company’s knowledge. Neither the Seller nor the Auction Company shall be held responsible for any discrepancies in the tax credit after closing. Any shortage or overage resulting from the final tax bills shall be the responsibility of the Buyer, regardless of whether the final billing differs from the estimated proration used at the time of sale.

Financing: Your bidding is not conditional on financing, make your arrangements before bidding. Not contingent on appraisal.
