Who it applies to
This calendar covers property in Bello. Medellín has a separate calendar. For shared owner duties, see property tax for foreign owners. For a purchase in Medellín, use the Medellín buying guide.
Steps to get the bill and pay
- Open Bello’s official payment-channel notice.
- Follow its property-tax payment link (Pago Predial Bello).
- Use the property details requested on the bill screen.
- Download the bill for the period you need.
- Check the property, year, quarter and balance.
- Select PSE to pay online.
- Save the bill and payment receipt.
Article 2 of the calendar also allows payment at authorized banks. The online service may pause on city billing dates.
Costs and late interest
The bill gives the amount due for each property. The 10% discount applied only to the full 2026 property tax. It did not cover prior-year debt or other billed charges. These include metropolitan-area and public-lighting charges. The discount was not cumulative. See articles 1–3 of the decree.
Articles 230 and 231 of Agreement 035 of 2025 provide for late interest. The city calculates it daily using the rate in national Tax Statute article 635. Ask Hacienda for an updated bill for an overdue balance.
Documents and owners abroad
Have a previous bill and the owner’s ID ready. The official instructions do not list accepted foreign ID types. Ask Hacienda how to find a record held under a passport or foreigner ID. Do not assume that a foreign card works with PSE.
Article 2 requires timely payment even if the owner receives no bill.
Where to ask
The Hacienda page provides the municipal contact channel. Ask the revenue office (Dirección Administrativa de Rentas) about bills. Payment agreements go through the tax collection office (Dirección Administrativa de Ejecuciones Fiscales).
2026 deadlines and discount
Checked October 25, 2026.
| Payment | Deadline in 2026 |
|---|---|
| First quarter; full-year payment for the 10% discount | 30 April |
| Second quarter | 30 June |
| Third quarter | 30 September |
| Fourth quarter | 24 December |
The April update replaces the earlier first-quarter date. The discount decree links its deadline to that quarter. The discount window has passed.
Common mistakes
Using Medellín’s dates, deducting the discount from every charge or using an old bill can leave a balance. A downloaded bill is not proof of payment.
Exceptions
A no-debt certificate (paz y salvo) requires payment for the full year under article 2. A quarterly payment alone does not meet that rule. Insolvency cases must have recognition from Bello’s legal office. Their payment dates follow the specific billing document and agreed installments.
