Photo from Valenzuela WebsiteVALENZUELA Mayor Rex Gatchalian urges the city lot owners to take advantage of the tax relief, telling them to just voluntarily disclose their previously undeclared or underdeclared real property. But he clarified that the amnesty for real property taxpayers would not be applied to delinquent real properties due for public auction sale by the city government, real properties which are subject to pending cases and/or litigation, and all properties awaiting expropriation. By law, all real property owners and administrators in the city are duty-bound to prepare and file a sworn statement "declaring the true value of their property, whether previously declared or undeclared, taxable or exempt" to the City Assessor's Office. No interest penalty will be charged for delinquent payments until December 2021," according to the city mayor. However, beginning January 2022, real property tax will be subject to a monthly interest rate of two percent or a fraction thereof, from January 2021 until the taxes shall have been paid in full.
