Important: Commercial Property Tax Bills (which include BID taxes)
|
Commercial property owners in DC should have received their property tax bill (which includes the BID taxes) by now. If you haven't received it, please let us know, or visit
mytax.dc.gov
where you can print out a copy and/or pay your bill online.
Update:
The DC Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) has corrected the percentage commercial/residential in all 60 mixed-use properties in Adams Morgan that had received incorrect tax bills in August.
Revised bills for impacted property owners will be mailed out on September 8, 2021,
but should property owners want their revised bill sooner/or want to pay it on line you can do so now at:
mytax.dc.gov
.
If you aren't familiar with the
mytax.dc.gov
website and need assistance finding your bill, please call Kristen at 202-997-0783 and she can walk you through the system to locate your property tax bill.
