What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan 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.
