Any chance Pattaya City Hall is extending the 90% tax discount into November at all?

 

If you don't get an answer here you can call the 1337 (and then for English press 9). This is the City Hall Hotline available around the clock.

Guys seem to panic easier as they get older

I'm stuck out of Thailand due to the pandemic.  I wanted to get the property tax promptly paid to get the discount and avoid penalty.  I found and used a Pattaya agent who charged THB 1000 for running down to Pattaya City Hall with copies of my chanote, blue book, land office receipt, and my passport copy.  The agent was prompt and efficient and all this got done the same morning I provided my documents by e-mail.  Maybe you can find an agent who will do this for cheaper, but taking care of this now and paying the agent fee will probably be cheaper than if you miss the discount period and/or start getting hit with a late penalty.

 

Done and done... happy camper now.

 

Note: My tax was paid on Nov 2 and still got the 90% discount.  Not sure when the discount will truly end.

How much was the tax you paid? I'll guess, 36 baht?

With the 90% discount it was less than 150 baht.  Quite reasonable for an oceanfront 2 bed/2 bath place well over 100 sqm.

If I recall right, late penalty for old system land land tax used to be 400baht (if not 200), regardless of how many years late...mine was 5yrs. Still 400 total for all late years 1 to 5.
