Property taxes are due in most municipalities on July 4th… Some cities have pushed out the due date into September because of COVID. One thing to not forget is to claim your Home Owners Grant if you live in your home as your principal residence. If you do not claim the grant, you will receive a bill that the grant plus interest is outstanding. You can claim the grant by going online to your cities website or by going to city hall.
If your mortgage lender collects taxes for you, they will pay the bill directly with the city and send you a summary in the first few weeks of August confirming how much they paid and if your new tax withdrawals will be adjusted at all.
NOTE ** Even if your lender pays the tax bill on your behalf, you still need to claim the grant.
