If you have an outstanding balance on your account any applicable credit will be applied to your balance. If you own more than one property, available credits will be applied to outstanding balance(s) on any of your property tax accounts to bring account(s) up-to-date.

This only occurs if there has not been an ownership change within the year of the credit and that the account is in good standing. If there are arrears on the account, such as other charges (for example, outstanding utility bills and/or other charges) the credit will not be automatically transferred.
