Deadline for payment of real estate tax approaching

The due date for payment of the real estate tax is approaching and the tax administration is responding by sending out a total of 2.8 million envelopes to taxpayers with postal orders for payment of the tax. However, you may also receive payment instructions in your email inbox, if you have opted in to receive your tax payment details by email, or by data mailbox if you are a data mailbox holder. Nevertheless, we recommend that you keep an eye on the 2022 property tax deadline and do not rely solely on receiving a postal order or email.
