                                                   2021 PROPERTY TAX BILLS

The property tax collection period normally runs from November 1, 2021 through December 10, 2021 and April 1, 2022 through May 10, 2022. Legislation enacted in 2019 (HB407) allows school districts to have a mill levy question on the November election ballot, thereby delaying mailing and due dates for 1st half of property taxes. For Chaves County, the delayed dates are:


 December 1, 2021 – Mailing of property tax bills

 December 10, 2021 – Payment Due Date

 December 31, 2021 – Payment Due to declare deduction on Federal and State income taxes

 January 10, 2022 – Final Due Date without late penalties and interest applied


The second half of property taxes continue as before with April 1st the start and May 10th as the final due date.
