The October 31 deadline for payment of second half 2023 property
taxes is fast approaching. We want to remind you that to preserve
the right to challenge the validity of your 2022 tax assessment in
court, you must pay the tax under written protest stating the
grounds for protest. This judicial remedy is available even if you
missed the deadline last year for filing an administrative appeal
of the tax assessment. Moreover, even if you failed to pay your
first half tax under protest, you can still preserve your ability
to obtain at least partial relief by protesting the second half
taxes.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
