Muntinlupa City Government Urges Public to Avail of Real Property Tax Amnesty

carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, the City Government announced that real property tax amnesty is being offered and the public is encouraged to avail of it, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government encouraged the public to avail of the real property tax amnesty being offered under Republic Act 12001.

The law, otherwise known as the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act, approved in June last year, stated that the amnesty will “cover penalties, surcharges, and interests from all unpaid real property taxes, including Special Education Fund, idle land tax, and other special levy taxes, prior to the effectivity of this Act.”

The real property tax amnesty can be availed of within two years after the effectivity of the law or until July 5 next year, the Muntinlupa City government said.

“This relief may be availed by a delinquent property owner with the option of one-time payment or installment payment of the delinquent real property taxes within two (2) years from the effectivity of this Act,” according to the law.

To avail of the amnesty in Muntinlupa, people need to go to the Muntinlupa City Treasurer’s Office to know if they are qualified.

They need to submit an application for amnesty to the Treasurer’s Office and keep one copy. They need to wait for the confirmation of their application. If approved, they will go to the Treasurer’s Office to pay.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are there many property owners in your local community who have yet to know about the real property tax amnesty offered?

Las Piñas City real property tax payers will get a 10-percent discount on their 2025 annual real property tax (RPT) when they pay their taxes from Dec. 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.

Property owners can opt to pay for their real property taxes in full or through quarterly installments, the city government said.

It encourages taxpayers to take advantage of the discount by paying via Las Piñas Smart City mobile app where they can input the tax declaration number and property identification number or PIN and select the quarters that they want to pay.

The city government launched the web app to reduce the movement of taxpayers, ensuring their safety, and allowing payments to be made in the comfort of their homes.

Las Piñas Mayor Imelda Aguilar also appealed to the new real property owners in the city to put their records with city hall in order, “so that they will be able to receive official notices and pay the correct taxes on time.”

Residents of Las Piñas City urged to avail of discounts by paying real property taxes (RPT) early

Recently in the City of Las Piñas, residents who own properties were advised to take advantage of discounts offered to them when paying their respective real property taxes (RPT) early enough starting this month, according to a Manila Times news report.  

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from new report the Manila Times. Some parts in boldface…

Real property owners in Las Piñas City are reminded to settle their real property taxes early and take advantage of discounts offered for prompt payment in 2025.

Las Piñas Councilor Mark Anthony Santos announced that the advance tax payment period runs until Dec. 15, 2024. Taxpayers who settle their dues by this date will receive a 20 percent discount. Payments made from December 16 to 31 will qualify for a 16 percent discount, while payments completed between Jan. 1 and 31, 2025, will be granted a 10 percent discount.

To be eligible for these discounts, taxpayers must pay their taxes for the entire year and ensure there are no outstanding delinquencies, Santos emphasized.

He said failure to pay on time would result in penalties. A 10 percent surcharge will be applied to delinquent payments, along with a one-time administrative fee for late second installment payments. As stipulated in Sections 260 and 263 of Republic Act 7160, the Local Government Code of 1991, unpaid taxes could lead to further actions, including the auctioning of delinquent properties.

“If the real property tax is not paid, the city government will avail of remedies through administrative action or judicial proceedings,” Santos warned.

The city treasurer’s office also reminded new property owners to update their records at the city assessor’s office to ensure they receive official notices and avoid tax issues.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? If you are a local property owner, are you ready to settle your real property tax with the City Government this month? Are the discounts for early payments enticing enough to you? How many property owners in your local community are aware of the discounts offered?
