Prior-Year Property Tax Refunds:
Prior-year property tax refunds are sent when the Assessor changes a property's assessed value or a tax bill is canceled. Most often, the Assessor changes a home's value after an assessment appeal, when an Assessor grants a qualified exclusion or exemption or an Assessor error is corrected. A prior-year property tax refund is identified with a “P”, “A”, “R” or a “D” code and the applicable parcel number on the refund warrant description.

Unclaimed property tax refunds are checks that remain uncashed for more than six months, usually because the postal service has returned the checks as undeliverable. In many of these cases, the person owed the money has moved and does not leave a forwarding address, or the forwarding order has expired. Checks may also be uncashed if they are lost or destroyed.
