Real Property Tax Bill Due Dates and Delayed Tax Bills

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.

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

Real Property Tax Bill Payment Due Dates

Billing	Period	Due Date**
1^stHalf	October 1 - March 31	March 31
2^nd Half	April 1 - September 30	September 15

** 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.
