What to do if I just received a tax notice that I did not pay for taxes from 8 years ago?
I know I did pay these taxes but the bank cannot go back more than 7 years to check my account. This is the first notice that I have received about this and I’m sure they are wrong but how can I prove it if the bank does not keep the records back to that date?

You seemingly have a problem if you cannot prove that you in fact paid the presumed property tax assessment bill that you are writing about. What does not make sense is why you are getting a notice now for alleged unpaid property taxes going back eight (8) years.
I suggest that you go down to the property tax assessor and have a face to face meeting with one of its representatives to try and iron out the problem that you have written about.
