For Immediate Release
Leesburg Personal Property Tax Payments Due On Monday,
October 7, 2013
Several payment options are available to avoid the lines at Town Hall
Leesburg, VA (September 27, 2013) – The due date for paying 2013 personal property taxes to
the Town of Leesburg is Monday, October 7, 2013. Historically, a large number of taxpayers
come to Town Hall to pay their taxes the week before the due date. Town Hall is open Monday
through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm to receive payments.
To avoid long lines, the Town encourages taxpayers to take advantage of several other
convenient payment options:
• Customer Self-Service Portal allows taxpayers to pay online with an eCheck or credit
card (MasterCard, VISA or Discover). Go to www.leesburgva.gov/payments. Online
payments are processed by Official Payments Corporation, the Town’s third-party
vendor. A convenience fee of 2.85% of the total transaction amount, with a minimum
fee of $3.95, is applied each time the service is used. The Town receives no portion of
this fee.
• Mail a check or credit card payment using the payment stub and envelope that were
enclosed with the bill. To pay by mail, taxpayers MUST return the bottom stub with the
payment. Please make sure to allow time for the payment to arrive on or before the
October 7th due date.
o If paying by check, one check can be used to pay more than one tax bill. If paying
multiple tax bills with one check, please include the tear-off remittance slip for
each bill being paid with the check in the return envelope.
o If paying by credit card, complete the credit card portion of the stub along with
signature and mail it in the envelope sent with the bill. The Town accepts
MasterCard, VISA, American Express and Discover credit cards.

• Use the secure Night Depository Box located in the Town Hall alcove at the corner of
West Market and Wirt Streets. Both check and credit card payments may be deposited
in the night drop box. There is also a drop box in the first floor hallway by the Finance
Department. Follow the same instructions above for mailing payments.
• Pay by phone with eCheck or a credit card by dialing 1-800-272-9829. Use Jurisdiction
Code 6203 in order to process the payment. A convenience fee of 2.85% of the total
transaction amount, with a minimum fee of $3.95, is applied each time the service is
used. The Town receives no portion of this fee.
• Pay in person at Town Hall from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday.
A late penalty of 10% will be assessed on unpaid balances after October 7, 2013. Interest at the
rate of 10% per annum is added to any unpaid balance beginning on November 1, 2013.
