Medellín Property Tax 2026: Dates, Discount and Payment

Medellín offered 5% off annual property-tax payment through 27 March 2026, with conditions. Quarterly payments follow each property bill’s due dates. (Decree 080 of 2026)

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

Open the Medellín property-tax service.
Enter the tax portal (Portal Tributario).
Choose the property-tax section (Zona Predial).
Sign in to your account.
Select bill copies (Duplicados de documento de cobro).
Check the property, year and period.
Use the online payment option linked by the service.
Save the bill and payment 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 overdue-bill guidance states that payment after the date without surcharge incurs interest. Banks cannot accept a bill after its with-surcharge expiry date. The city guide says to wait for the next bill, which includes updated amounts and interest. A missed payment-agreement installment needs an updated document from the payment-arrangement and collection office. Ask Hacienda about the applicable route.

Documents and owners abroad

The official service page lists citizen ID or foreigner ID for the service. This does not confirm passport access to every online service. The billing guide requires portal registration for account access. A representative must meet the service’s authorization or power-of-attorney requirements.

Where to ask

The service page links Hacienda’s service points. For a purchase, see Medellín purchase records. The foreign-owner property-tax guide covers the general checks.

2026 deadlines and discount

Checked October 25, 2026.

Payment route	2026 deadline
Annual payment with 5% discount	27 March 2026
Quarterly payment	Due date on the property bill

Resolution 202550100057 of 2025, article 6 sets quarterly dates by the billing address sector. The date without surcharge and the date with surcharge have different effects. Article 7 sets a separate schedule for properties held through autonomous trusts (patrimonios autónomos). Check the bill against the applicable table.

The annual discount has expired. The bill separated the quarterly and annual barcodes. The benefit required payment of overdue balances at the same time. An agreement signed before 2026 did not require early settlement of its agreed balance. An agreement for 2026 did not qualify.

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

Paying the first quarter separately removed its discount. The remaining quarters could qualify if paid in full by the deadline. Later increases from cadastral changes or an administrative assessment receive no discount. If a later cadastral change reduces the tax, the discount does not apply to the new base. It does not form part of the taxpayer’s overpayment under Decree 080, article 1, paragraph 1.
