Who it applies to

This guide covers this city’s property tax. For the general rules, see property tax for foreign owners.

Steps to get the bill and pay

  1. Open Bogotá’s official payment instructions.
  2. Follow the Bogotá payments link (Pagos Bogotá).
  3. Choose the 2026 property-tax option.
  4. Enter the details requested by the portal.
  5. Check the property, year and amount.
  6. Download the bill or generate the receipt for your payment route.
  7. Use the available payment channel.
  8. Save the receipt.

Costs and interest

The property bill shows the amount due. Check the tax, any surcharges and any interest as separate items. This guide does not calculate an assessment for your case.

The official deadline notice sets 10 July 2026 as the general deadline without interest or penalties. After the applicable deadline, request an updated debt receipt. A date under the alternative installment system (SPAC) does not extend the general deadline for someone outside that system.

Documents and owners abroad

Prepare the previous bill, owner ID and property code (CHIP), if available. The opened instructions do not confirm which foreign IDs each screen accepts. Ask Hacienda about a passport-based record or a missing property. Do not assume that a foreign card will work.

Where to ask

Hacienda lists its phone line (Línea 195) in its official calendar. Ask about the bill, owner record or SPAC. For a purchase, see Bogotá purchase records. The owner deadline checker shows the same property-tax dates.

2026 deadlines and discount

The discount required full payment by the April deadline. A taxpayer who chose SPAC could still qualify by paying in full by that deadline. The discount and general deadlines have passed.

Common mistakes

Using another city’s calendar, paying the wrong year or treating a bill as a receipt can leave an unpaid balance. If someone else pays, request the official receipt.

Exceptions

SPAC allows four equal installments for residential and non-residential property. It required an initial return through the online office (Oficina Virtual) by the deadline. The December installment applies to taxpayers who joined on time.

A property without a CHIP can still require a return and payment. Bogotá’s 2026 guidance for property without a CHIP describes a separate route through the online office. A missing bill alone does not establish an exemption.
