(UPDATE) A LAS PIÑAS City councilor has reminded real property owners to settle their taxes early and take advantage of discounts offered for prompt payment in 2025.

Councilor Mark Anthony Santos announced on Wednesday that the advance real property tax payment period would run until Dec. 15, 2024. Taxpayers who settle their dues by this date will receive a 20 percent discount. Payments made from Dec. 16 to 31 will qualify for a 16 percent discount, while payments completed between Jan. 1 and 31, 2025, will be granted a 10 percent discount.

To be eligible for these discounts, taxpayers must pay their taxes for the entire year and ensure there are no outstanding delinquencies, Santos said.

Failure to pay on time, he said, will result in penalties. A 10 percent surcharge will be applied to delinquent payments, along with a one-time administrative fee for late second installment payments.

As stipulated in Sections 260 and 263 of Republic Act 7160, the Local Government Code of 1991, unpaid taxes could lead to further actions, including the auctioning of delinquent properties, Santos said.

“If the real property tax is not paid, the city government will avail of remedies through administrative action or judicial proceedings,” he warned.

Also, the city treasurer’s office reminded new property owners to update their records at the city assessor’s office to ensure they receive official notices and avoid tax issues.

Under Section 254 of the Local Government Code, the city government is mandated to publish a notice of delinquency once a week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation. Notices will also be posted at the city hall and conspicuous locations in barangay.

Property owners are encouraged to act promptly to avoid penalties and support the city government’s tax collection efforts.
