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 Williamsburg Real Estate Assessor's Office; Finance Department collects taxes.
Effective rate
$0.62 per $100 of assessed value for FY2027 (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027), including calendar-year 2026 assessment values.
Statement mailing
February 27, 2026 for reassessment notices; N/A for a separate tax-bill mailing date because the official source does not publish one.
Payment deadline
FY2027 first-half real-estate billing period July 1–December 31, 2026, due December 1, 2026; second half is due June 1, 2027.
Valuation protest
March 31, 2026 before 4:30 p.m. for the FY2027 administrative/informal appeal; the form states this is not the Board of Equalization application.
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.
