Okay, you are correct. I will provide the question and answer:



Question: Why do property taxes appear to be extended? How come you have until 06/30/2009 to pay your property taxes? I thought 04/10/2009 was the deadline and there were no extensions.



Answer that I found: Property taxes are DUE on 4/10/2009. They become DELINQUENT on 07/01/2009. So you actually have a couple months to get them paid, with penalty, before they become delinquent.



I still don't understand the whole property tax game. People paying on installment plans yet being delinquent on the latest taxes, people in foreclosure yet completely caught up on their property taxes, etc.
 
you are wrong. property taxes are due 4/10 (for the second installment) and 12/10 (for the first installment), after those dates you are delinquent. some supplemantle tax bills have other dates, but thos two are the MAIN ones.

Thank you for this information. So I guess my original question still needs to be answered. Why would the taxes be delinquent, penalties assessed but the remarks field says "Until 6/30/2009"
