Important information about tax bills
Real Estate and Personal Property Tax bills are collected in two (2) installments with the first installment due June 30 and the second installment due December 5. Bills are typically mailed 4-5 weeks before the due date. If you would prefer to view your bills electronically rather than receiving paper copies, please visit https://gloucester.estmt.net (you will need your most recent tax bill). Always check your bills for completeness upon receipt. If you have multiple parcels or accounts with exactly the same name and address, they may be mailed in the same envelope. If you haven’t received your bills by 2 weeks before the due date, please reach out to the Treasurer’s Office so that we can get you the information you need to pay on time. Payments must be made in the Treasurer’s Office, made online, or mailed with a postmark date of the due date or earlier to be accepted
as timely. Any accounts that remain unpaid after the due date will have additional charges added as required by Gloucester County and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Gloucester County is not a prorating locality, so your Personal Property bills reflect what our records show you owned on January 1 of the tax year. This means that if you owned an item in Gloucester County on January 1, you are responsible for the full year’s tax bill. If you see an item on your bill that you got rid of prior to January 1, please contact the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office at (804) 693-3451 or cor@gloucesterva.info to see if your bill can be adjusted. If you buy or sell a real estate parcel, those taxes may be taken care of at closing. If you have a mortgage on your property, your real estate taxes are most likely paid by them. Always remember, though, that it is your responsibility as the property owner to make sure the taxes are paid on time. If you have questions or concerns, we are happy to help! Please reach out to the Treasurer’s Office at (804) 693-2141 or treasurer@gloucesterva.info. You can sign up to get an email notification when your real estate and personal property bills are available. To set up your account, visit https://gloucester.estmt.net (you will need your tax bill from either June or October/November of this year). Setting up an account requires entering the first name line on the bill EXACTLY as it appears (including any commas, periods, etc.) and providing the unique Registration ID found on the back of the bill (upper right-hand corner). Once your account has been created, you are able to add additional tax bills to the same login (even if the names on the accounts are different). If you no longer have your bill, contact the Treasurer’s Office at 804-693-2141 or treasurer@gloucesterva.info, and we’ll be happy to provide you with the necessary information!
