What are my responsibilities as a new property owner?

If you purchased your property in Dighton after January 1, the preliminary tax bill would be in the name of the previous owner and, the post office may forward the bill to the previous owner. All property owners must pay a real estate tax; therefore, it is the responsibility of the owner to contact the Collector's Office if you have not received a bill and to verify that taxes and/or liens have been paid.
