What period of time does my bill cover?

The real estate bill you pay on July 1 covers the time period of July 1 through December 31. When you pay the January installment, taxes are paid through June 30. Motor vehicle bills that are due in July are for the time period of the previous October 1 through September 30 of this year. Supplemental motor vehicle taxes are due January 1 and represent ownership from the time you registered with the DMV through September 30 of this year. Personal Property bills are for October 1 through September 30 and cannot be pro-rated.
