The deadline for paying city and county property taxes is quickly approaching.

Selma City Tax Collector Kim Lewis said residents should pay their city property taxes by April 18. Dallas County Tax Collector Tammy King said the deadline to pay county property taxes is April 1. If these dates are not met, the property will be advertised in The Selma Times-Journal.

The absolute deadline for the city and county property taxes is May 16 at 10 a.m.

“Unfortunately, you know, if they do not come here and pay it on May 16 at 10 o’clock, then property will be auctioned off at the tax sale,” King said.

Residents have various options for how they can pay property taxes.

Lewis said residents could pay city taxes by phone at 874-2112, mail it to 222 Broad Street PO Box 450, Selma, AL 36702 or pay it at Selma City Hall.
