How could the taxpayer pay the tax if he/she can't move from one place to another?
As per this law, the tax debt is originally due at the real-estate directorates and the affiliated branch offices with no need to a claim at the debtor's residence.
However, in consideration of all special health, humanitarian and social circumstances, the debtor may authorize someone else other than him/herself to go to the competent branch office to pay the tax. The tax could also be paid via a postal money order or a bank check. RETA is currently constructing a payment system via the internet or the visa card; besides, the tax collector goes to the debtor's residence to take the tax if the taxpayer is not able to visit the directorate or the branch office to pay the tax.
The real estate tax is due on the first of January of each year, and it gets two equal installments, the first until the end of June and the second until the end of December of the same year, and the taxpayer may pay it in full on the date of paying the first installment.
