For real estate taxes, why does the City function on a Fiscal Year basis instead of a calendar year?
Real estate taxes are assessed on our Fiscal Year of July 1 through June 30. The first half taxes cover the calendar year period of July 1 through December 31 and are due November 15th. The second half taxes cover the calendar year period of January 1 through June 30 and are due May 15th. The decision to bill in a Fiscal Year fashion was a decision made years ago by the City Council to coincide with our budget year.
