Richmond City Real Estate Tax Bills Sent to the Wrong Address

Thanks to Page at Hills and Heights for writing this article:
“Were you as confused as I was to receive a Real Estate and Special Tax Bill from the City? Don’t call finance! They know of the issue and are working to get the bills to the mortgage companies. I called my mortgage company before I received the following info from Kathy Graziano’s office, and they confirmed that they were expecting to receive the bill directly.
The Department of Finance recently mailed all real estate bills to the property owner, including those bills intended for owner’s mortgage escrow accounts. This has generated a tremendous volume of phone calls for everyone. Finance distributed an explanation to the 311 Call Center and other departments who may be receiving calls.
The owner does not have to do anything. If the owner has an escrow account, do not pay the bill. The correct bill will be provided to the mortgage company for payment.

I contacted the city on Monday when I received my bill and was told that they are using a third party vendor to handle the tax (both real estate and auto)collections. The company used the assessment info. of the property owner. I was also told that so many people are in default or refinancing they had doubts the information for the escrow was correct. I contacted my mortgage holder and was told by them, Bank of America that they had requested a bill but had not received one. I told him I had the bill and he asked that I fax it to their tax dept. Now what really happened? The address to pay our taxes is Atlanta, Ga. so I am thinking the city employee probable is telling the truth.
