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 Roanoke Office of Real Estate Valuation; Commissioner of Revenue administers relief; Treasurer collects taxes.
Effective rate
$1.22 per $100 of assessed value for 2026.
Statement mailing
Bills are usually mailed at the end of February and end of August; the reviewed official 2026 pages did not publish exact mailing dates.
Payment deadline
April 5, 2026 and October 5, 2026, in two real-estate installments for the July 1–June 30 fiscal/tax year.
Valuation protest
February 4, 2026 for Office of Real Estate Valuation review; April 8, 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.
