Tax Payment Information

For your convenience, property taxes may be paid in two equal installments. Please note that any unpaid balance on the first installment will begin accruing interest on November 1, and any unpaid balance on the second installment will begin accruing interest on May 1.

The first half of the tax bill covers July 1 – December 31, and the second half covers January 1 – June 30. The Town of Raymond does not prorate taxes; this is typically handled by the closing company. The property owner of record on April 1 is responsible for the full year’s taxes, even though they are billed in two installments.

If payment is made on delinquent taxes within the last 10 days of a notification deadline, we ask that it be made by cash, money order, or cashier’s check. All payments are applied to the oldest outstanding balance first.

If a lien is filed for unpaid taxes, it is filed against the owner of record as of April 1 and may appear on their credit report. Once a lien goes to foreclosure, the Town becomes the property owner and may either sell the property at public auction or retain it for municipal purposes.

If any balance remains unpaid after June 30, the owner’s name will be listed in the Town Report.

Payment arrangements may be made with the Tax Collector; however, they do not stop interest from accruing and do not prevent the automatic lien or foreclosure process.

Mortgage companies are notified of delinquent taxes, which may affect escrow amounts.
