State statute or county-set dates?
An announced date can also follow a statute. The date’s source basis does not establish who has legal authority to set it. These 5 verified state examples describe that distinction; other states have not been classified here.

Late-penalty components, where structured
29 county records have an explicit numeric percentage and unit. We show each unit and the full recorded rule.

Methodology and sources
We include 443 installment records with a stored due date from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. A county record is excluded if its record verification, any source or any fact is older than 400 days at build time. Coverage is not a random or population-weighted sample; comparisons reflect what has been verified.
“Announced” means the county published that year’s date. “Statutory” means the stored date is supported by a statute or ordinance. We do not roll last year’s dates forward. Due dates and last penalty-free payment dates are separate fields; a blank cutoff means unverified, not that no penalty applies. Original installment labels preserve payment-plan conditions. Calendar years may differ from the tax year on a bill.
The busiest-week chart uses only announced due dates, grouped by Monday–Sunday calendar week. A county may contribute several installments. Past dates remain for reporting and are labelled on month pages; no missing date is treated as zero tax owed.
Sources are the official government or approved official payment-vendor links alongside each date and rule. The CSV includes URLs, verbatim quotations and verification dates for due dates, paired cutoffs, installment labels and tax years. State-authority examples and penalties retain their own source dates above. Read the site verification policy.
Not tax or legal advice. Confirm your date, payment method and cutoff with your county. See the separate ACS county-rate report.
