When Are Woburn Real Estate Property Tax Bills Due?
The City FAQ says a real estate property tax bill is due 30 calendar days after issuance. It also explains that real estate property tax bills are issued quarterly on July 1, October 1, January 1 and April 1.
The FAQ breaks the quarters into coverage periods: the August 1 bill covers July 1-September 30 as a preliminary bill, the November 1 bill covers October 1-December 31 as a preliminary bill, the February 1 bill covers January 1-March 31 as an actual bill, and the May 1 bill covers April 1-June 30 as an actual bill. If a city news post or printed bill gives a specific due date, follow the official bill or current city notice.
Official source: City of Woburn FAQ.| Bill / coverage | City FAQ description | Practical reminder |
|---|---|---|
| August 1 bill | July 1-September 30, preliminary bill | Check new fiscal year preliminary amount and mortgage escrow status. |
| November 1 bill | October 1-December 31, preliminary bill | Verify payment early if mailed or handled by a mortgage company. |

| May 1 bill | April 1-June 30, actual bill | Keep proof for tax records, sale closing, escrow and year-end records. |

How to Pay Woburn Taxes by Mail, Phone, Drop Box or In Person
The City’s Online Bill Pay page lists five ways to pay a City of Woburn tax bill: online, by phone, by mail, by the rear City Hall drop box, or by visiting the Treasurer/Collector’s office at City Hall.
Use the payment method that matches your bill status. For current bills, online, phone, mail, drop box or in-person payment may be available. For overdue bills, the City’s tax-bill notice warns not to put overdue bill payments in the drop box because they may be returned and accrue interest and fees until paid. For overdue bills, call the Treasurer/Collector at 781-897-5870 for the updated amount due.

Woburn Late Property Tax Interest, Duplicate Bills and Tax Taking Notices
The City FAQ states that late real estate property tax interest is assessed at 14% per annum from the due date of the bill. That makes it important to confirm the current balance before paying a late bill.
If your bill is overdue, do not rely on the original printed amount. Interest and fees may have changed. The City’s tax-bill notice tells taxpayers not to drop overdue bills in the rear City Hall drop box and to call the Treasurer/Collector’s office for the most updated amount due. Tax taking/tax title notices are more serious and should be handled directly with the Collector’s office.
Official source: City FAQ and City tax-bill notice.Late real estate tax
Call 781-897-5870 for the updated amount before paying, especially if interest or fees may have accrued.
Missing bill
Failure to receive a tax bill does not excuse payment. Request a duplicate bill from the Treasury Department.
Tax title / taking
If you see a tax taking or tax title notice, contact the Collector’s office directly rather than sending a guessed payment amount.
City of Woburn Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Payment and Warrant Status
Motor vehicle excise tax is different from real estate tax. The City’s Online Bill Pay page says all motor vehicle excise tax bills must be paid in full, including interest and penalties when applicable.
If a motor vehicle excise bill is on “warrant” status, the City says it must be paid through the Deputy Tax Collector service, PKS Associates, P.O. Box 397, Reading, MA 01867. The page lists PKS at 781-944-8504 for further inquiry. For excise abatement questions, use the Assessor’s motor vehicle excise guidance rather than only the payment portal.
Official source: Online Bill Pay excise section and Auto Excise information.Current excise bill
Pay through the City’s online payment route when the bill is current and available in the payment system.
Warrant-status excise bill
Contact PKS Associates at 781-944-8504 if your excise bill is on warrant status and the City directs payment to the Deputy Tax Collector.
