2026 Calendar

USPS Postmark Changes

The USPS has recently updated its nationwide postmarking procedures, which could affect the official dates applied to mailed items—including property tax payments. A postmark is now affixed to incoming mail when it reaches the regional sorting center, not when the item is first touched by the Postal Service.

What this means for property tax payments:

Postmarks may now appear several days after you place your envelope in the mail.
A delayed postmark may cause a payment to be recorded as late, even if it was mailed before the deadline.

To ensure timely processing:

Mail your payment early, or
Utilize online payment options to avoid potential late fees.
