How the January window works here
The Local Government Code sets local tax payments within the first 20 days of January and lets the city council extend that. Zamboanga's windows have closed on 20 January, with a council extension in 2025.[4,1]
Online or walk-in
Renewal through the eBOSS can be done at any hour, while the walk-in BOSS assisted applicants from 8am to 5pm on weekdays in 2025.[1]
