Debbie Dettmer Re: 320 Estudillo .Page 1 From: Debbie Dettmer To: McCluckie, Margaret; Peterson, Tara Date: 6/25/02 2:39PM Subject: Re: 320 Estudillo Tara: I don't know, I've looked but can't find or remember this happening since I've been here. I suggest you call the Assessor's Office to find out from them what you need to do to "retroactively cancel the taxes," effective as of the date of the transfer of title. Also, I'd think the title co. would, routinely, discover that taxes were owing at the time of sale, calculate them, issue a check and send it to you to cover those taxes. If they didn't look at the "taxes" portion, maybe you can ask them to do so, calculate what the taxes should have been, and cut a check for the amount. (Also, I guess you'd need to ask John whether we or the seller were supposed to pay the taxes. If the seller was to have paid it and didn't follow through, you'd need to know and follow up with the seller. I don't know how we'd know what the agreement was without asking JJ. ????) Then you'd forward the check to me, along with a cover memo (indicating the seller's name, address(es), APN(s)), requesting that I "cancel future taxes," upon my receipt of the recorded Deed from Alameda County. Once I receive the "recorded Deed" from Alameda County, I'd send the check provided by you, along with our cover letter and a copy of the recorded Deed, to the Alameda County Supervisors, requesting cancelation of future taxes. Once they approve same, they forward our request and their approval to the Assessor's Office to "cancel the taxes." Eventually, the Assessor's Office sends me "confirmation" that the taxes were canceled. >>> Tara Peterson 06/24/02 09:21AM >>> I understand that when I purchase property, I do. But I didn't purchase this. Debbie, please advise. Thanks. >>> Margaret McCluckie 06/24/02 09:14AM >>> OOPS ... that's what happens when I don't have my coffee. You're right, address is 320 West Estudillo and the APN is 75-16-14. Since we own it, who processes the request to the County for elimination of the taxes? mmc >>> Tara Peterson 06/24/02 08:50AM >>> The short answer to your question is no. I think you have an incorrect APN and address. However, John acquired 075-0016-014 - aka 320-324 W. Estudillo Avenue in December. This is the one I was told about that didn't get the deed recorded properly. I have been working on it since March to get the original deed, but that doesn't look like it is going to happen. I am working with Placer Title to get a copy of the grant deed and our certificate of acceptance recorded. I hope to have this done in a couple of weeks. Please confirm the property information and let's ask Debbie Dettmer for advise on how to fix the tax issue. >>> Margaret McCluckie 06/24/02 08:41AM >>> Tara: Do we own 320 Estudillo, APN 75-16-4? I've received a property tax bill. Please advise.
