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 Petersburg City Assessor's Office; Commissioner of the Revenue administers relief; Treasurer/Collections collects taxes.
Effective rate
$1.27 per $100 of assessed value for real estate.
Statement mailing
Bills are mailed approximately 30 days before each quarterly due date; no separate 2026 mailing dates were published.
Payment deadline
September 30, December 31, 2026, March 30, 2027, and June 30, 2027 for the four quarterly bills covering the fiscal-year cycle; the city's 2026 calendar lists September 30, December 31, March 30, and June 30.
Valuation protest
January 21–March 1, 2026 for Office Review; January 21–April 1, 2026 for Board of Equalization appeal.
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.
