Office of Tax and Revenue

Currently, there is a text message scam that is occurring in the District of Columbia. Taxpayers are receiving text messages that claim to be from the DC Office of Tax and Revenue asking them to update their banking information. If you get a text message stating it is from DC's Office of Tax and Revenue, please do not reply or click any link and delete it from your device. We will never send unsolicited text messages asking for personal information. If you have any questions, you can contact our Customer Service office at (202) 727-4829 or visit MyTax DC.

Welcome to the newly redesigned website for the Office of Tax and Revenue! Your feedback on the new website is extremely important to us.
When you are finished, please take a few moments to complete a short survey. Thank you in advance!

All payments made before 5 pm EST are effective the same day they are authorized. Payments may not be scheduled for a later date.

To use the MyTax.DC.gov online payment system:

Bill Courtesy Notification 

This feature allows for property owners to elect to receive an email notification when real property correspondence becomes available. Billing notices include the real property tax bill, public space above/below ground bills, special assessment property tax bills, tax sale notices, and the property tax bill (possessory interest). This does not replace the mailing of physical notices.   

To utilize this feature, visit MyTax.DC.gov and navigate to: Real Property > View More Options > Bill Courtesy Notifications.
