Real Property Tax Bills Due Dates and Delayed Bills

***In order to assist property owners impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) is further extending three important deadlines for property owners in the District of Columbia. Please visit OTR's Coronavirus Information and Guidance page for more information.***

District of Columbia law provides that all taxable real property in the District is subject to an annual levy of tax. A property owner will receive a property tax bill twice a year. The tax should be paid timely to avoid penalties and interest.

Due Dates

Real Property tax bill payments are due twice a year, as follows:

Real Property Tax Bill Payment Due Dates

** While most real property tax bills are mailed at the same time, a range of issues can delay the mailing of some of these bills. The due date for these delayed real property tax bills is adjusted accordingly.
