Taxpayers may choose to pay their property taxes quarterly by participating in an installment payment plan. To be aligible for the program, the taxpayer's estimated taxes must be in excess of $100. Those who qualify must fill out and return the installment plan application form to the Tax Collector's Office prior to May 1. The form is available in the Tax Collectors Office or the online form may be printed and completed. (The form will open in a new window which you may close to return to this window).
The plan requires that the first installment must be made no later than June 30 in order to receive a 6% discount. Payment received after June 30 will not be discounted and will have a 5% penalty charged.
Taxpayers electing the installment method pay based on an estimated tax equal to the actual taxes for the preceding year. Failure to make the first payment will automatically cancel the participant from the plan and the taxpayer will receive a normal bill in November.
The installment payment schedule is as follows:
1st payment- June-
One quarter of the previous year's tax amount, discounted 6%, is due by 6/30.
2nd payment- Sept.- Same as first payment, but discounted 4.5% and due by 9/30.
3rd payment- Dec.- One quarter of the current
year's adjusted tax amount, discounted 3%, is due by 12/31.
4th payment- March- Same as 3rd payment, but no discount. Due by 3/31.
Any amount remaining unpaid on April 1 will be treated as a delinquent tax
bill and discounts do not apply to delinquent payments.
