If your real estate tax is not included in your mortgage payment, Monday, Dec. 5 is the deadline to make your payment directly to Fairfax County. Payment methods include check, credit card, electronic check and automatic installments. Review your bill or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dta for details.
Most mortgage companies participate in a mass billing and payment system through electronic information exchange with Fairfax County. Participating mortgage companies furnish Fairfax County with electronic data twice a year listing the accounts whereby they will be paying the taxes from escrow accounts. If your mortgage holder does not commit to pay your Real Estate Tax, the tax bills are mailed to your current mailing address. You may check your current mailing address in the real estate online records.
Real Estate Tax bills are due in two installments on July 28 and Dec. 5 of each calendar year. If you do not receive future tax bills at least two weeks before the due date, you can confirm the amount due by calling the Department of Tax Administration (DTA) at 703-222-8234 (TTY 703-222-7594) or by email at dtarcd@fairfaxcounty.gov
