2026 fiscal calendar
Know the tax date before it becomes a penalty date.
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The verified record below separates published figures from dates that require confirmation with City of Hampton Office of the Assessor of Real Estate; Treasurer collects taxes.
Effective rate
$1.14 per $100 of assessed value for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027); FY2026 rate was also $1.14.
Statement mailing
2026 first-half bills mailed the last Friday in October 2025 for the December 5, 2025 due date; FY2027 bills for the December 5, 2026 and June 5, 2027 installments are mailed approximately the last Friday of October 2026 and April 2027.
Payment deadline
June 5, 2026 (second-half FY2026) and December 5, 2026 (first-half FY2027; weekend/holiday dates move to the next workday).
Valuation protest
March 30, 2026 by 4:00 p.m. for Office Review of the January 1, 2026 assessment; April 28, 2026 for Board of Review application; Board hearings completed by June 30, 2026.
Critical payment warning
Do not assume a grace period.
The verified county record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat the published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
Read the calendar in order
From assessment to collection
1. Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
2. Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
3. Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
