Roach, Esq. reminds the public that the amnesty deadline for the waiver of interest and penalties on real property taxes expires March 29, 2024. Title 33 Virgin Islands Code Section 2494 authorizes the Lieutenant Governor to waive interest and penalties on property taxes. Interest and penalties will be waived if payment is received in the full amount of property taxes due for any tax year. Delinquent taxpayers having an installment payment plan may take advantage of the amnesty but must be prepared to discharge their full tax obligation. Property owners are encouraged to access the Citizen Access Portal at https://propertytax.vi.gov or contact the Office of the Tax Collector to obtain tax status reports, which provides detail of taxes, sewer fees, interest, and penalties. This waiver serves as a follow-up to the September 2021 publication of delinquent accounts and is intended to assist property owners to reconcile delinquent property taxes prior to final collection action, which includes the auctioning of real property for failure to pay a tax obligation. Parcels which are still delinquent at the end of the amnesty will be subject to sale at auction on dates which will be announced shortly. Persons having any questions or needing additional information may contact the Office of the Tax Collector at 340-773-6449 for the St. Croix District or 340-774-2991 for the St. Thomas/St. John District. ###
