Richmond city, Virginia property-tax rates and deadlines
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The reviewed record below separates published figures from items that still require confirmation with City of Richmond Office of the Assessor of Real Estate; Department of Finance collects taxes.
Rate context
Published$1.20 per $100 of assessed value for tax year 2026.
Statement mailing
PublishedVirginia law requires bills to be issued at least 14 days before the due dates; the city targets approximately 30 days but did not publish specific 2026 mailing dates.
Payment deadline
PublishedJanuary 14, 2026 and June 14, 2026, for the first and second real-estate installments.
Valuation protest
PublishedOctober 1, 2025 for the 2026 Office Review application; the reviewed official sources did not publish a separate 2026 Board of Equalization filing deadline.
Do not assume a grace period.
The reviewed 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 a published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
From assessment to collection
01Valuation 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.
02Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
03Payment 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.
