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 Shenandoah County Commissioner of Revenue; Treasurer collects taxes; GIS Division maintains mapping.
Effective rate
$0.464 per $100 of assessed value for calendar year 2026 after equalization of the general reassessment, per the County's 2026 Board of Supervisors action.
Statement mailing
December 10, 2025 for the 2026 reassessment notices; a specific 2026 tax-bill mailing date was not published.
Payment deadline
June 5, 2026 (first half) and December 5, 2026 (second half); 10% penalty and monthly interest apply after the due dates.
Valuation protest
2026 Board of Equalization hearings were scheduled May 21–June 2 and August 4–October 28, 2026 by appointment; contact BOE at 540-459-7301 for the applicable appointment deadline.
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.
