Real Property 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 Payment Due Dates
Real Property tax bill payments are due twice a year, as follows:
- 1st Half (October 1 – March 31) -- Payment due by March 31
- 2nd Half (April 1 – September 30) -- Payment due by 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.
