Barranquilla Property Tax 2026: Dates, Discounts and Payment
Barranquilla’s 2026 property tax was due on 30 June 2026 under the ordinary calendar. Full payment qualified for 10% off through 31 March, or 5% through 29 May 2026.
Those dates have passed (official calendar, article 5, checked October 25, 2026). Approved monthly installments follow their own schedule.
Resolution DSH 001 of 2026 extended the 10% deadline to 31 March 2026. The original calendar still shows 27 March. The later resolution replaces that discount date.
Who it applies to
This calendar covers property in Barranquilla. For the general owner checks, see the existing property tax guide. Its Medellín example uses a different calendar.
Steps
- Open Hacienda’s property tax page.
- Select the bill and payment option (Liquidar o pagar impuesto).
- Choose a search method in the Orion portal: property address, registry folio or cadastral reference.
- Enter the property detail requested by that search method.
- Check that the property and tax year on the bill match your records.
- Choose the online payment option or print the bill for an authorized bank.
- Save the official payment receipt.
Hacienda lists PSE and credit card payments in its payment guidance. It does not confirm acceptance of every foreign bank account or foreign-issued card.
Costs
The official bill shows the amount for the property. A discount percentage does not show the tax amount due.
Under the ordinary calendar, unpaid 2026 tax starts accruing late interest on 1 July 2026. Article 5 sets that start date. A current bill is needed for the balance; this guide does not quote a fixed interest rate.
Documents
The public bill search uses property details. Its instructions do not require an owner’s identity document for that initial search.
The installment request form asks for the owner’s or possessor’s name, address, phone number and cadastral reference. It also asks for a copy of the Colombian citizen ID (cédula de ciudadanía). The form does not state how a passport or foreign resident ID fits that requirement.
- Ask Hacienda which document it accepts for your case if you hold a foreign ID.
- Keep the property reference and prior bill ready when asking for help.
Hacienda’s service page lists +57 6054010205 for help. For a representative’s duties, see hiring a property manager.

Common mistakes
- Expired discount: deducting an early-payment discount from a bill issued after its deadline.
- Wrong calendar: using the dates for a nearby municipality.
- Wrong record: paying for a building instead of the correct apartment.
Exceptions
The monthly installment option is separate from the ordinary June deadline. The 2026 request form limits the last installment to December 2026. It does not give every owner a December extension.
A missed installment causes late interest. Three missed installments revoke the arrangement and start enforced collection of the full debt. The approved schedule controls the individual installment dates.
