I don't give tax advice nor legal advice. I can tell them what last year's taxes were and where to get property tax information.

One of the things I have learned is never give advice about things like that. I was really surprised when the buyers ended up paying $10,000. of the outstanding assessment of a short sale condo.

Thanks for your comments.  I wish every real estate professional would refer clients and potential clients to their local assessor or tax collector when they have questions.

You make an excellent point.  Property assessments and taxes vary by state within the U.S., and even from community to community within a state.  Real estate brokers and agents can't be expected to know all the ins and outs of tax delinquencies and assessment and tax abatements, deferrals, and exemptions.  It's best when you know who you can refer your clients and potential clients to for these answers.
