From The Tax Office - Your Taxes Are Due
Property Taxes, Property Assessments, Income Taxes, Taxation and spendthrift governments.

The first installment of your Uxbridge property taxes are due by Monday February 28th, 2011.
Failure to pay them on time will result in an immediate penalty of 1.25%.
Taxes in one form or another have been with us throughout recorded history from the taxes collected by the Scribes of the Egyptian Pharaohs to the war time tax of the Athenians to the taxes imposed by the Roman Empire.
