The Douzaine of St Peter Port has issued 1,047 final demands for parochial rates as it attempts to "be more vigorous with collection".
Each final demand includes an additional £25 fine.
"We ask those who have not settled their invoices to date to do so within the next week, to avoid any further fines," the Douzaine said in a statement.
"Anyone making payment via bank transfer or cheque and does not include the £25 fine will be chased for the shortfall.
"There are a few credits received in the bank account however, due to the lack of any relevant reference, the office staff have been unable to identify who sent it, which property it relates to.
"It is important for payments made through the bank to include the invoice number and/or cadastre number."
