In other words, do any of the people on title live at the address and will they be turning 65 or older this year, or will they be claiming a disability grant?
The bank needs this information in order to know which column on the Property Tax notice to pay when the taxes are due, July 2, 2020.
The letter will indicate how the bank wants you to respond to them. You may be able to phone the bank to confirm the information, or you may have to send them a letter.
