The Division of Property Tax wishes to advise property owners who received notices of delinquent property taxes in June to disregard those notices.  In a joint statement, Tax Assessor Roy Martin and newly appointed Tax Collector Valencio Jackson said the office is taking this action because their office is continuing to work to update property tax records. 

According to Martin, a significant number of the notices issued to property owners were incorrect.  “Prior to issuing the notices, the Division of Property Tax projected a slim margin of error in the records previously maintained by the Department of Finance,” Martin stated.  “We were unaware of the extent of the discrepancies, but given what we have learned it became clear that more time will be  needed to correct years of inefficient records management.  This is why we decided it was best to recall the notices,” said Martin.  The Property Tax Division is working aggressively to create an accurate database of property tax assessments and accompanying payments.

Delinquency notices will be reissued at a later date once the Division of Property Tax has thoroughly reviewed its records and clarified the payment status of Virgin Islands property owners.  In this effort, the Tax Collector asked that any VI property owner who has readily available information that might assist the process of updating the tax records to provide such information to the Tax Collector’s Office.  This can be done by mail to:

Property owners can also email their information to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The Tax Assessor and Tax Collector also noted that the recall of the delinquent property tax notices does not affect the amnesty period that began on June 2.  Property owners who know that they are delinquent are encouraged to take advantage of the amnesty which waives interest and attachment fees for past due property taxes.  Property owners who are uncertain about their payment status are encouraged to contact our collection offices at (340)773-1105 or (340)774-4750 to verify their payment status.

The Division of Property Tax regrets any undue concern or inconvenience the delinquency notice caused and appreciates the community’s understanding of this matter.
