Proration of Taxes; Real and Personal. Taxes shall be prorated based upon the current year's tax based on the highest discount available at Closing. If the Closing occurs on a date when the current year's taxes are not fixed and the current year's assessment is available, taxes will be prorated based upon such assessment and the prior year's millage. If the current year's assessment is not available, then taxes will be prorated based on the prior year's tax; provided, however, if there are completed improvements on the Property by January 1st of the year of Closing, which improvements were not in existence on January 1st of the prior year, then the taxes shall be prorated to the date of Closing based upon the prior year's millage and an equitable assessment to be agreed upon between the parties, failing which request will be made to the county tax assessor for an informal assessment. If the Property is assessed as part of a larger tract of land and a "cut out" is not available from the tax assessor at the time of Closing, the taxes for the Property shall be estimated and prorated based upon the ratio of the size of the Property in relation to the overall tract of which the Property forms a part, taking into consideration matters of zoning as described in the tax assessor's records. Any tax proration based on an estimate may, at the request of either party, be subsequently readjusted upon receipt of the actual tax xxxx. This provision for reproration shall survive the Closing.
