📢 PUBLIC ADVISORY
Please be informed that pursuant to Regional Memorandum Circular No. 020.2026 issued by the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF), strict compliance with the prescriptive periods for collecting Real Property Tax (RPT) under Section 270 of the Local Government Code is hereby emphasized.
🔎 Key Points to Remember:
- The collection of Real Property Tax must be made within five (5) years from the date it becomes due.
- In cases involving fraud or intent to evade payment, collection may be pursued within ten (10) years from discovery.
- Beyond these periods, administrative remedies such as public auction or forfeiture, and judicial actions MAY NO LONGER BE ENFORCED/AVAIL.
- However, the tax obligation itself does not prescribe, meaning unpaid taxes remain due.
📌 All taxpayers are strongly encouraged to settle their real property tax obligations on time to avoid penalties and possible enforcement actions.
Your cooperation helps ensure continuous public service and development in our community.
Thank you and please be guided accordingly.
