What should you do if the personal property tax office for a state you no longer reside in is seeking you for payment on personal property for real estate that was sold several years ago? Is there a statute of limitations on the sale of real estate? If the proper papers were never recorded, does this mean the property is still owned by the original owners? Can the property be taken back by the seller, if all owed back taxes were paid up? Where can I get information on this?

if you have a bill of sale that was notorized, then you should have no problem proving that you are not the legal owner of the property.

Real estate is NOT personal property. Something is wrong with your question. If the title was never transferred, the seller is still the 'legal' owner. You need to consult and attorney in the state sending the tax bill to find out what is going on.

So many questions there. Visit your local court house and ask to speak to the title/assessment office. All rules are different in each state. If you were the one that sold,say a home, follow up to see if the deed was recorded properly at time of sale.
