Hongseong County Imposes July Property Tax of Over 9.6 Billion Won… Payment Deadline by 31st

Chungnam Hongseong County imposed property tax of 9.06 billion won for July.

Chungnam Hongseong County announced on July 14 that it has imposed a total of 62,829 property tax cases (for houses and buildings) amounting to 9.66 billion won for July 2026.

This increase is due to the expansion of the tax base, such as new apartment move-ins and newly constructed buildings. As a result, the amount imposed rose by approximately 400 million won (4.3%) compared to last year.

This year, the county's property tax impositions comprised 49,028 cases for housing (4.4 billion won) and 13,801 cases for buildings (5.296 billion won).

Compared to last year's housing portion of 4.091 billion won (41,240 cases) and building portion of 5.2 billion won (10,532 cases), the total number of cases increased by 11,057, and the total tax amount rose by around 400 million won.

The property tax for July is levied on those who, as of the tax base date of June 1, 2026, are de facto owners of houses, buildings (including facilities), and ships.

The payment period is from July 16 to July 31, 2026, and a 3% late payment surcharge will be imposed if payment is not made by the deadline.

Kim Myungho, head of the Tax Department, stated, "Since the property tax is a valuable source of independent revenue for the welfare of county residents and local development, we ask that you please observe the payment deadline."
