What should I do if my taxes are paid through my mortgage company but I receive the tax bill ? Answer: Notify the Treasurer’s Office via fax, email or regular mail with a written request for future billings to your mortgage company. Please reference your account number, property address, and the name, address and telephone number of the mortgage company. If you have any additional questions please call 664-7849. How are penalty and interest calculated on delinquent real estate tax ? Answer: Penalty is calculated at $10% or $10.00 whichever is greater, and interest is calculated at the rate of 10% per year. Who do I contact regarding a change of address and/or tax billing status ? Answer: If you have a change of address and/or a change in your tax billing status, please contact the Treasurer's Office at 664-7849 so your record(s) may be updated. When are real estate tax bills mailed by the Treasurer's Office ? Answer: It is the policy of the Norfolk Treasurer's Office to mail tax bills thirty (30) days prior to the due date. If you do not receive a bill, contact the Treasurer's Office and a duplicate bill will be mailed to you. Virginia law is clear that it is the responsibility of the taxpayer to know the due date of the tax bill and to pay it on time. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the taxpayer of penalty and interest on a delinquent account. Back to TopIs there a Tax Relief program for the elderly and disabled ?
