Alexandria’s Second Half 2007 of Real Estate Tax Due Thursday, November 15
Convenient Payment Options Available

The City of Alexandria reminds property owners that payment of the second half of their 2007 Real Estate Tax and Refuse Fee is due Thursday, November 15, 2007. To avoid late payment penalty and interest charges, payment must be received by the City or postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service no later than November 15.

Real estate tax bills were mailed on October 10, 2007. Property owners who have not received a tax bill in the mail and do not have their real estate tax paid by a mortgage company should call the City’s Treasury Division at 703.838.4777 or e-mail
payments@alexandriava.gov to request a duplicate bill. Failure to receive a tax bill in the mail is not grounds for waiving the late payment penalty and interest or extending the November 15 due date.

The Finance Department urges Alexandria property owners to avoid waiting in line at City Hall by using one of the following convenient payment options:

Pay by eCheck online at alexandriava.gov/finance/eChecks to have the payment deducted from a specified checking or savings account. There is no additional fee for using this service, which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
