# Due dates

> Set and use due dates for dues assignments

You can set an optional **due date** on each dues assignment. Use it for display, reminders, and filtering (e.g. overdue).

## Set a due date

* When [assigning dues](/dues/assigning-dues), enter a **Due date** (e.g. September 15, 2025). The assignment stores it and may show it on the pay page and in the Dues list.
* You can often edit the due date later by opening the assignment and changing the date field.

## How due dates are used

* **Display**: The member may see "Due by \[date]" on their pay page. The Dues list may show due date per row.
* **Overdue**: The app may mark assignments as **overdue** when the due date has passed and status is still unpaid. You can filter or sort by overdue to follow up.
* **Reminders**: If your plan supports dues reminders, they may be sent based on due date (e.g. a few days before or after). Check Reminders or Email settings for dues.

<Note>
  Due date does not automatically block payment after the date. Members can still pay after the due date unless you cancel or waive the assignment.
</Note>

## Change or remove due date

* Edit the assignment and set a new due date or clear it. Saving updates the record. Reminders (if any) may use the new date on the next run.
