    Property taxes on a G1 visa
    Hello,
    Mr. Atlantataxhelper, I just bought a place along with my husband US citizen. I am on a G1 visa.
    How does it work for taxes property? How to claim taxes on this property? Should he files the 50% of all, and me the other 50% in my home country?
    It is so confusing for us. We do not know how to proceed.
    Many thanks and kind regards,
    Simbrial

    you do not "file" property tax, property tax is a bill sent to you on the value of the property. ** if this is what you are talking about.

    Simbrial:

    While you may be exempt from income taxes, you ARE liable for property taxes onproperty owned in the United States.

    If you are paying a mortgage, the taxes will be paid from an scrow account maintain by the mortgage company.

    If you own the property free and clear, then a tax bill will be sent to you. Just pay it.
