Property Tax 2026: City Deadlines and Discounts
Colombia’s 2026 property-tax deadlines and early-payment discounts differ by city. The comparison table links each row to official sources and the city guide.
How to read this table
- Find the city where the property sits.
- Check the ordinary deadline and the payment option separately.
- Read the conditions beside each discount or installment date.
- Open the city guide for payment steps and exceptions.
- Compare the official source with the current bill.
Dates use year-month-day. The order uses the next exact date listed on or after 2026-10-26. Rows without such a date come last. A blank next date does not mean that no payment is due.
A final monthly installment date is not the next monthly bill. Bucaramanga shows the published final date; earlier monthly payments may still fall due. Barranquilla’s agreement and Medellín’s bill need their own dates.
2026 deadlines and discounts by city
Ordinary dates, discount dates and installment dates have different effects. A later installment date does not extend the ordinary deadline for everyone. These are general rules, with exceptions.

What changes each year
The calendar, discount rules and extension notices belong to their stated tax year. An extension can change one deadline without reopening a discount. The Pereira and Sabaneta sources show this distinction.
The checked column records the source review date. It is not a payment deadline. This table covers the stated year only. It does not predict a later calendar.
Common mistakes
- Expired discount: a past discount does not reduce a later bill.
- Wrong payment option: installment dates can require entry into a scheme before its deadline.
- Interest: a date with a surcharge is not an interest-free extension.
- Tax base: some discounts exclude the environmental surcharge. Read the row’s conditions.
Exceptions and missing values
Sabaneta’s extension does not repeat the discount percentage. This table omits that percentage. Bucaramanga’s ordinary calendar has a conflicting year. Santa Marta’s installment clause also has a conflicting year; it is not a confirmed installment schedule.
Barranquilla’s earlier discount band remains pending source review here. Its extension document could not be reopened for this table. The row includes only the later band checked against the official calendar.
Medellín’s bill dates depend on the sector, with separate rules for trust-held property. The city guides explain other conditions and exceptions. Ask a Colombian lawyer or accountant about your case.

Frequently asked questions
Is there one property-tax deadline for all these cities?
No. Each row lists the city’s dates and conditions. Use the city where the property sits.
Does the next listed date apply to every owner?
No. It can be an installment date for a scheme with an earlier entry deadline. Read its conditions.
Can I still use a discount after its deadline?
A past discount is not a current offer. Check the official bill and the city’s rules.
Can I reuse the CSV?
Yes. The table and CSV carry this licence: CC BY 4.0, cite Colombia Ready. Keep the sources, check dates and conditions.
