Jim Alex reports: "Bank of America is the proud new owner of the Horizons building. After the bankruptcy was tossed out, the bank took the property back for $1,543,307.47. Lots of people lost money on this deal. Five more loans just got wiped out when the first loan foreclosed. On a happier note, it looks like the UPS store is coming to the Clock Tower Building in Rockaway." (Document below indicates Horizon property reverts to Bank of America.)

Normally, the back taxes are paid when the property is resold. Some banks do pay the tax bill every six months, but most just let it ride, knowing they can just pay it when the property transfers.

When a bank repossesses a property, does it pay property taxes on it or are the taxes suspended until the property is sold?
