Bills
The 2025 City Property Tax bills will be mailed out the week of Nov. 3, 2025. Your bill will look very similar to the County bills since they are coming out in a sealed mailer instead of an envelope. The bill says up in the left-hand corner City of Winchester so that you can distinguish between the City and County.
These bills are due each year on the second Friday in December, making this year's bill due Dec. 12, 2025. As of De. 13, , a 10% penalty will be assessed.
You may lookup your tax bill at Property Tax Lookup. You can search by address, name, or map number.
If your taxes are escrowed, please forward your bill to your mortgage company.
Owner of Records
Property tax bills are mailed to the owner of the record as of Jan. 1 of the current tax year. If you have purchased property since Jan. 1, please do not assume that the seller will pay the taxes.

Property Tax Liens
The City of Winchester does not sell delinquent property tax bills. However, a Lien on your property may be filed with the Clark County Clerk for unpaid tax bills. If we do file a lien on your property, it will incur an additional $146 fee. To release a tax lien, this fee must be paid, along with the taxes (plus penalty and interest already accrued) at the Finance Department in City Hall.
The tax lien process begins in the spring following the tax year. We always send out delinquent tax bills and then a follow-up letter before a lien is filed.
