taxes are due at the start of the year,but you can pay whenever.If you pay after the end of April then a small fine (interest is added) but nothing to get worried about.

our company pays these taxes on behalf of owners who cannot get over to Bansko,but if you are in Bansko sometime this year then go to the municipality office and you can pay it yourself,you will need your Bulstat numbers for those named on the title deeds.

The other thing is how can I get them to send the invoice directly to my home address so that I am aware of the costs and can then get it paid accordingly.

re: Annual Taxes Bulgaria

Hi Gareth, If you have the bill, you can pay it online using Epay.bg but you do need all the details to be able to do this. Its not completely straightforward but the staff at Epay are very helpful and speak excellent English. I got a friend to forward me my bill and then had sufficient details to pay the municipal taxes online.
