The city of Pereira, Colombia, has extended the deadline for property tax payments until May 30, 2025 [1, 2]. This extension allows approximately 208,000 taxpayers to take advantage of discounts [1].
A 10% discount is available for those paying their 2025 property taxes early [1]. An additional 5% discount is offered to those who paid their 2024 taxes before May 31 of last year [1].
According to Jorge Alexis Mejía Bermúdez, the Secretary of Finance of Pereira, the extension was granted due to issues with the cadastral manager, which affected some builders and property taxpayers [1, 3, 16].
For vehicle tax in Risaralda, taxpayers can also pay until May 30, 2025, and receive a 10% discount for early payment of the 2025 tax year [1]. An additional 10% discount is available if they are up-to-date on previous years' payments [1].
Taxpayers can find assistance at shopping centers including Arboleda, Unicentro, Pereira Plaza, and El Oportuno starting May 6, 2025 [1]. Flexible hours will be available, in addition to the Governor's Tax Portal [1].
The property tax for 2025 will see a 3% increase [1]. The tax portal is enabled for online payments via PSE, credit, and debit cards, or at various banks in the city [1].
