We have many obligations to face in life. And, one of these obligations is to pay different taxes like income tax, property tax and many others. Since we have many obligations and not just these taxes, we sometimes take paying taxes for granted. This will cause a very big problem to non-payers.

Not being able to pay your taxes, (property taxes in particular) may lead to the following problems:

You may lose your property or house. Unpaid property tax leading to delinquent property tax may lead to losing your property. However, there are still second chances given. So, if ever you are given more time to pay your delinquent property tax, find a solution for this right away or you may really end up losing your property. You may only be given two years to settle your unpaid taxes.

If it happens that your property is forwarded to the county treasury, more interests and fees will be added. There will be a collection of four percent administration fee and one percent interest per month.

Your property may be forfeited. This means you still have one year to settle your delinquent tax or you may lose your property altogether or have it foreclosed. Foreclosed properties mean you will not be able to get it back as it will be auctioned off to recover the pending dues.

Before all these problems occur, you should make an effort to settle all pending property taxes. Surely, you do not want to end up losing your property, do you?
