[Archived] Alexandria’s Second Half Real Estate Tax Due Monday, November 15

News Highlights:

More Information: 

The City of Alexandria reminds property owners that the second half 2010 Real Estate Tax and Refuse Fee payments are due November 15. To avoid a late payment penalty and interest, payment must be received by the City or postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service no later than November 15. 

If you have not received a bill in the mail and do not have your real estate tax paid by your mortgage company, contact the City’s Treasury Division at payments@alexandriava.gov, or call 703.746.3902 to request a duplicate bill. Property owners who have refinanced in the past year may wish to verify that their current mortgage company has received their real estate tax bill. Failure to receive a tax bill is not grounds for waiving the late payment penalty and interest, or extending the November 15 due date.

In accordance with City Code, late payment penalty and interest will be assessed on all real estate taxes and refuse fees that are not paid or postmarked by the due date. The late payment penalty is 10 percent of the tax and refuse fee or $10, whichever is greater. Interest accrues at an annual rate of 10 percent for the first year and 5 percent for each year thereafter, beginning November 16, 2010, and continuing until the entire outstanding balance is paid.  The Code of Virginia does not allow for waiver of tax, penalty or interest due to inability to pay. 

The Finance Department urges Alexandria property owners to avoid waiting in line by using one of the other convenient methods for paying the real estate tax:

Property owners with a new mailing address or who have questions concerning assessments or appeals should contact the Department of Real Estate Assessments at realestate@alexandriava.gov, or call 703.746.4646 to ensure that all future bills and correspondence are mailed to the correct address.
