Do you pay property taxes on buildings or land? Your tax payment may not be due for several months, but in reality you incur one-twelfth of your annual property tax bill every month. At the end of the accounting period, you should make an adjusting entry in your general journal to set up property taxes payable for the amount of taxes incurred but not yet paid.
