REAL ESTATE TAXES

Louisa County bills real estate taxes annually, the due date for payment is DECEMBER 5th of each year. Payments received after DECEMBER 5th are subject to a 10% penalty on DECEMBER 6th and an 8% interest starting JANUARY 1st. All real estate is subject to taxation unless specifically exempted by Virginia State Code.

If taxes are paid by your mortgage company, the mortgage company usually contacts the Treasurer's office and requests the tax bill to be mailed directly to them. A copy of each bill is sent to the homeowner for reference.

After current taxes are paid, you may make monthly pre-payments on real estate taxes starting January 1st with the minimum payment amount being $25. Please contact the Treasurer's office to obtain a tax ID number before remitting payments.

If you are a new property owner and you have not received a tax bill by November 1st, please contact the Treasurer's office.

The County of Louisa sponsors a Rabies Vaccination Clinic twice a year. One is held during the spring and the other in the fall. Citizens are required to obtain vaccination and licenses for their animals, and enforcement of County ordinances pertaining to such will be exercised.

As a convenience to citizens, the Treasurer's office is there giving you the option of purchasing your dog tags at the time of vaccination.

Why should you get your dog licensed, and be sure they wear the tag?

  • Protect your dog, yourself, and your family from rabies.
  • Help your dog get home if lost.
  • Help protect your community from strays that may bite or destroy property.

AND... IT'S THE LAW!
