Real Estate Tax Deadline Extended to July 29

Fairfax County wants to be sure that local homeowners know what's what when it comes time to paying their real estate taxes. Here's the scoop straight from the county:

Real Estate Tax: For residents who do not have the Real Estate Tax included in their mortgage payment, Real Estate Tax bills were mailed the week of June 24. 

The July 28 payment deadline has been extended to July 29 (July 28 is a Sunday). 

If you receive a real estate bill but believe your taxes are escrowed as part of your monthly mortgage payment, you should contact your mortgage company. This sometimes occurs if your mortgage company changes or if they have incorrect address information.  

For additional assistance, contact the Fairfax County Department of Tax Administration (DTA) at 703-222-8234 (TTY 703-222-7594) or email dtarcd@fairfaxcounty.gov. The Real Estate Tax second installment bill deadline is Dec. 5. 

Car Tax: Personal Property Tax (car tax) bills will be mailed later this summer. The Oct. 5 deadline has been extended to Oct. 7 (Oct. 5 is a Saturday). For vehicles bought or located in Fairfax County on or after July 1, payment is due Feb. 15, 2014.
