2019 PROPERTY TAX DELAY
This year’s property tax bill is delayed because of a new state law (HB407) The law allows school districts to have a mill levy question on the November 5th election ballot. Property tax bills must wait until the outcome of the election and bills have been processed. This means that you won’t receive your tax bill on November 1st as you have in the past.
For San Juan County property taxpayers, in 2019, you can expect the following dates:
- Bills postmarked by December 3, 2019
- First-half or payment in full due December 10, 2019
- Payments considered delinquent and subject to late fees after January 10, 2020
- The second half property tax payment dates remain the same, due April 10, 2020 with May 10, 2020 as the delinquent date.
NOTE: This delay does not apply if you are on our monthly payment or if your taxes are paid through your mortgage company.
For monthly payments, continue to pay your usual amount. Mortgage companies have been notified and will pay your taxes on time. For taxpayers who plan to deduct interest from your 2019 income tax return, taxes must be paid by December 31, 2019.
