2004 House Bill 5431

House Roll Call 165: Passed

To require (rather than allow) local governments to consider property tax payments to have been paid as of the date of the post mark on the envelope, as long as the postmark is not more than seven days earlier than the date on which the payment actually arrives at the local government office. This would not apply if the postmark itself was later than the due date for the taxes, or if the payment is for delinquent taxes.
