Lieutenant Governor Gregory R. Francis is encouraging Virgin Islands property owners to pay their 2008 tax bills before the due date of August 20, 2011 in order to take advantage of early payment discounts. Property owners who pay their 2008 tax bill by August 5th will be entitled to a 5% early payment discount.  Persons paying their tax bill after that date and before the due date of August 20th will receive a discount of 2.5%.  

Property owners with mortgages, whose property tax payments are held in escrow accounts, should also contact their lenders to make sure that they do not miss the discount opportunity. 

The 2008 property tax bills become delinquent if not paid by October 20, 2011.  Late payment fees will be charged after January 20, 2012.  Property taxes can be paid at the Tax Collector’s Offices at the following locations:

St. John:       Islandia Building
St. Thomas:  Builders Emporium
St. Croix:     1105 King Street (Government House, Christiansted)
                   1131 King Street, Suite #101 (Christiansted)
                   4008 Est. Diamond (Dept. of Finance, Sunny Isles)
                   Lagoon Street Commercial Building No. 1 (Frederiksted)

Payments can be made in person or by mail.  Checks, cash, money orders, ATM, debit and credit cards (Visa and Mastercard only) are accepted.   Persons submitting their payments by mail are advised not to send cash.
