Gurye-gun, 2020 '2nd Term Property Tax' Imposed

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 10th that it has imposed 22,583 cases of the second installment property tax this year, totaling 1.43 billion KRW.

Property tax is imposed in two installments in July and September on those who own real estate as of June 1 every year.

This imposition covers land and housing. For houses, if the principal tax amount is 200,000 KRW or less, it was imposed in a lump sum last July, and if it exceeds 200,000 KRW, the remaining half is imposed this time.

The deadline for property tax payment is until the 5th of next month, and payment can be made at financial institutions nationwide and post offices using the tax bill. Additionally, various methods such as virtual account transfer, credit card payment, Wetax, and internet Giro are available.

However, residents and businesses affected by the recent heavy rains can apply for a payment deferral at the county office’s finance department, taxpayer protection officer, or nearby eup/myeon office before the payment deadline, and the property tax payment deadline will be extended for up to six months.

A county official said, “We are strengthening publicity so that residents can be informed of the imposed details within the payment deadline by using banners, village chief meetings, neighborhood newsletters, and village broadcasts,” and urged, “If the payment deadline is missed, a 3% surcharge and a monthly 0.75% additional surcharge will be imposed, so please pay within the deadline.”
