Bladen County sets March 20, 2025 deadline for unpaid 2024 property tax payments
Summary
The Board set a March 20, 2025 payment deadline to avoid advertising unpaid 2024 real property taxes, citing a statutory notification requirement.
Bladen County commissioners set a March 20, 2025 payment deadline for unpaid 2024 real property taxes to avoid advertising those delinquencies, county revenue staff said.
Nate Dallas of the county revenue department asked the board to "establish a payment deadline of March 20, 2025 to avoid advertising of unpaid 2024 real property taxes according to the statute of 105369," and the board approved the request by voice vote.
Dallas told commissioners that the county must send notice 30 days before any advertised list and that the March 20 date fits the required notice window. Commissioners discussed that previous years' deadlines varied and that the county has historically selected a mid-month date to allow taxpayers time to respond.
The action establishes the administrative deadline for payment to prevent advertising but does not itself foreclose later collection steps if taxes remain unpaid after the notice and any subsequent advertising. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote; the approval was recorded as a voice vote.
