azayco,

thanks for the reply.

10 years from the discovery of the fraud?

unfortunately, the building (townhouse lang talaga) was used by my father who past away recently. we do not know anything regarding his affairs regarding taxes and his business. We were only sent a notice for payment recently after his demised. We searched his records and the city assessors records and found out that there is a tax dec for the building. It was filed in qc but it was not paid.

Since the notice was sent recently, does it mean the 10 years starts from 1998?

Hello,

Need advise on Real Property Taxes for LGU.

QC Hall is sending me a bill for back taxes on real property since 1991. This contains all the back taxes for a building

for the past 17years or so.

The taxes for the land was paid but the improvements was not.

I know that the LGU Code places a limit on the number of years that may be collected - 5 years only for all taxes and penalties.

And 10 years in cases of fraud.

When I mentioned this to the City Assessor, they dismissed this saying that all taxe must be paid.

Is this correct? Prescription periods are valid even in Local Property Taxes right?

Thank you.
