Property tax coming after a time (9)
I believe the answer is:
attribute
'property' is the definition.
(I know that property can be written as attribute)
'tax coming after a time' is the wordplay.
'tax' becomes 'tribute' (I've seen this before).
'coming after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'a'+'t'='at'
'tribute' after 'at' is 'ATTRIBUTE'.
(Other definitions for attribute that I've seen before include "A special characteristic" , "Ascribe, impute" , "Credit - property" , "Point" , "charge" .)
