Tax Collectors not collecting

[LawCiao]

Pretty much as the titles states, my tax collectors are not collecting the taxes from houses/buildings. Currently all my houses have their taxes capped at 100/100, same for the production buildings and mines.

I have tried changing the tax sliders around, rebuilding the tax officers (yes, including doors) and making sure all the tax boxes are checked. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue and whether a fix is available? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Only thing that would stop it, is the office isn't built within a light fortification area.

Try to deselect the tax mines option, there is a pathfinding bug where tax collectors can't enter mines and get stuck trying to enter them.

Had the same. I quit a tax collectors and rehired them. I put some extra collectors, since the old collectors were citizens and were constantly looking for stuff to buy. So I made them commoner and hired some extra.

Warning: taxing MINES is bugged! they cant reach iron mines. I quit this tax and went for market stand tax, way better.

Is your tax office close to everything it needs to tax?

Same bug for me : Tax collectors can't reach mines. An error message keeps popping up saying that the tax collector can't reach the mines, it's very frustrating !

Yes. That is a known bug. Skip the mines-tax and go for the market stand-tax. But be aware: of there is money in the mines (right click on the gold coin in the top hud), tax collectors will continue to try to collect it. The error will continue to spawn. You have to delete the mine and rebuild it.

It feels that if you don't the tax collectors will complete bug and no longer collect taxes at all. Time to rebuild every mine. Thank you for this comment, though!

I just go broke so damn fast, no income works. Cant sell surplus resources, and tax collector does nothing. What a dissapointment, I played this 4 years ago and it was a better experience.

On normal difficulty this shouldn't be happening. You should consider going fast toward edics which decrease happyness malus of taxes and decrease upkeep costs of labour buildings. Sell aggressively polished stone and planks at the beginning. Go for the one time money tax at the manor house - therfore keep you people happy. And don't expand to rapidly, don't build a big church right at the start, you can't afford minus 30 upkeep. Slowly expand.

Tax collector bug similar to me. Was having no tax income because tax collectors were trying to reach mines. I can partially solve this by destroying mines and rebuilding them again. Not to mention the obnoxious path not found error popping out every 10 seconds.

Yes as for now taxing mines (expect stone mines) doesn't work. Don't go for it. So mills and alter on market stands.

This is so annoying. How do you even destroy mines? It says "This building can't be destroyed".

I click on the mine, click on the hammer symbol to enter building mode, click on the mine again, click on the circle shovel symbol above the mine, done.
