Pay Property Tax Early

• Print Articles

Summary: Can I pay my property tax early and take the deduction this year? Check with the local tax assessor's office to find out if you can pay early. You may be able to use the amount paid as a tax deduction.

Q: I moved into my house in 2000. My property taxes for 2001 are due at the end of January 2002.

If I pay my 2001 property taxes in 2001 instead of January 31, 2002 when it's due, will I be able to use the amount paid as tax deduction for 2001?

A: You should be able to do this. Double check with the tax assessor's office to be sure.
