Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, real and personal property taxes must be paid in full on or
before five working days after January 31, unless paid in installments. An
installment payment of special charges, special taxes, and property taxes imposed
on real property or on improvements to leased land is considered delinquent if not
paid on or before five working days after the due date.
This bill clarifies that such payments that are mailed to the proper official are
considered to be received on time if postmarked on or before the due date, regardless
of when received. The bill also clarifies that if the due date is a Saturday or Sunday,
the five-day “grace” period ends on the following Friday.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
