Every year in September the mortgage companies request the tax accounts they anticipate paying in November. This is how the mortgage information shows up on your tax bill every year. If you have paid off your mortgage, refinanced, or have a brand new loan since July 1st it is possible that the lender information may be incorrect. It is the property owner's responsibility to know whether or not they need to pay or their mortgage company will be paying the taxes. Generally, if you receive a yellow bill from the County this indicates a lender has requested your information.
