New Year's has a different meaning for everyone, but for property owners it means that it is time to pay their land taxes. This year, landowners are getting a few extra days to get their taxes paid.
Since Dec. 31st landed on Sunday, the deadline for taxes has been moved to Tuesday, Jan.2, which is the first working day of 2007.
Failure to pay property taxes on time will cause late charge penalties based on the amount of your property, according to the Revenue Commissioner's office.
Those who fail to pay their taxes altogether will be in danger of having their property auctioned to the highest bidder.
