Property tax due dates are not the same in every state

Last checked: November 9, 2026. The rows below are statewide rules for 2026 bills. This is not a full list of states.

California. The first installment is due November 1. Unpaid taxes are late at 5 p.m., or the close of business, on December 10. [1]

Florida. Taxes are due and payable on November 1. They are late on April 1, 2027, or 60 days after the original bill was mailed, whichever is later. [2]

New Mexico. The first installment is due November 10. December 10 is the last day to pay that installment before interest. [3]

Oregon. The first one-third is due on or before November 15. November 15, 2026 is a Sunday, so the due date moves to the next business day. [4][11]

Utah. Property taxes are due on November 30. November 30, 2026 is a Monday. If November 30 is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the next day that is not one of those is used. [5]

Montana. One-half is payable on or before 5 p.m. on November 30, or within 30 days after the tax notice is postmarked, whichever is later. [6]

Idaho. You may pay in full, or pay the first half on or before December 20. December 20, 2026 is a Sunday. An act that falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday is on time on the next business day. [7][12]

South Carolina. Taxes are due and payable between September 30 and January 15 after the assessment. For these bills, that January date is January 15, 2027. [8]

Texas. In most cases, pay by January 31. Taxes still unpaid on February 1 are late. January 31, 2027 is a Sunday, and the Comptroller says taxes may be paid on Monday, February 1. If the bill is mailed after January 10, the late date is postponed. [9]

Wisconsin. Unless the local government set a different schedule, pay in full on or before January 31, or pay the first of two equal parts on or before January 31. That is January 31, 2027, for most cities and towns. The due date stays January 31 even when it is a weekend. If January 31 is a Saturday or Sunday, a 5-working-day window before the bill is treated as late ends at the close of business on the first Friday in February. [10]

Not getting a bill usually does not change the due date. [9][10][3]

If you do not have a bill, contact your county or city tax office. Texas says to contact the local tax office if you have not received a bill by mid-January. Wisconsin says to contact the municipal treasurer if you have not received a bill by December 21. Utah County says to call the treasurer if you have not received a notice by the first of November.
