Notice is herewith given that all first half 2012 Hanover County real estate taxes are due and payable on or before June 5, 2012. Anyone owning property who has not received a bill and whose real estate taxes are not processed by their Mortgage Company may go on-line to www.co.hanover.va.us/treasurer/default.htm to pay, review, and/or print their bill(s), or may call the Hanover County Treasurer’s office at 365-6050 or 730-6050.

Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the owner of penalty and interest if payment is not made by the due date. Tax bills are sent to owners of record on January 1, 2012; therefore, if property was conveyed by you in 2012, you should forward the bill to the new owner. If you purchased a parcel during 2012, contact the Treasurer’s office to have a copy of the tax bill forwarded to you.

If you are 65 years old or over, or are permanently disabled, you may qualify for real estate Tax Relief. There are very specific criteria which must be met, including residing on the property for which you are applying. You must apply for tax relief each year between January 1 and March 1 with the Commissioner of the Revenue’s office. For questions, phone 365-6128 or 730-6128.

M. Scott Miller, Treasurer
