Note: Real estate taxes paid in a calendar or tax-able year generally reflect taxes assessed for two different fiscal years. If a community collects taxes quarterly, a taxpayer may have made four payments during a calendar year. These payments are billed as due on the following dates: February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1. If a community collects taxes semi-annually, a taxpayer may have made two payments during the calendar year. The first payment is billed as due on May 1 and the second as due on November 1, or thirty days after it is mailed, if the bill is mailed after October 1. If you own a multi-family home, mixed-use property, or your principle residence has a land area in excess of one acre, contact your local city or towns collectors office if you have any questions in determining the amount of real estate taxes paid in calendar year 2005 for your principal residence.
