First-half 2011 Property Tax Payments Due No Later Than Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2011

jhall — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:31:10 +0000

Please remember that the first-half of your 2011 property taxes must be paid by November 1, 2011, to be timely. Delinquent tax payments may result in severe consequences for maintaining pending appeals and settlements, as well as the accrual of significant interest penalties and the eventual loss of the property if the taxes are not paid. If you have an appeal or settlement pending, please contact us if you are concerned that you will not be able to timely pay the first installment of your 2011 property taxes on or before November 1, 2011.

Also note, under Arizona law, a postmark on your tax payment by the delinquency date is considered “receipt” by the treasurer, but because questions sometimes come up, we recommend using certified mail if you use this option.
