Page:  1 What should I do if I have a credit on my real property tax bill? The amount of a particular Real Estate Tax installment may be reduced because of a credit on your account. Such credits are usually caused by overpayments, but it could also be an invalid credit resulting from taxes paid for a different property that were accidentally applied to your property. If you think the credit is invalid, you should add the amount of the credit to your tax payment. That will prevent you from getting a delinquency bill when the mistake is corrected.

The Department of Finance mails Delinquency Notices for real estate taxes, assessments, and other related charges when a property's outstanding balance is not paid in full by the deadline indicated on the original bill. If you receive a Delinquency Notice and you have already paid the charges in question after the date of the notice, you may disregard the notice. If you paid the taxes or charges listed on the notice on or before the date of the notice, and you have a canceled check as receipt for payment, please allow three weeks for processing.
