When do residents receive tax bills?

All tax statements for the current year are mailed in mid-September. The mailing includes coupons for the 1st and 2nd installments. This will be the only statement you will receive except in cases where ones taxes are delinquent. Delinquent tax statements are sent by mail in August and January for Real Property Taxes and in June for Unsecured Personal Property Taxes.

When do taxes need to be paid?

Most property taxes are payable in 2 installments. The 1st installment is due October 1st. If not paid by that date the taxes become delinquent November 1st at 5:00PM.

The second installment is due March 1st. If not paid by that date, the taxes are considered delinquent on May 1st at 5:00 PM. Should the tax be $100 or less, they become due and payable in full October 1st.  If not paid by that date the taxes are considered delinquent November 1st at 5:00 PM.

Should you decide to pay both installments by December 31st, any interest that may have accrued after November 1st is waived. Nevertheless, the first installment is legally considered delinquent should it be made after November 1st. In the event any of the delinquency dates fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the time of delinquency is 5:00 PM the next business day.

What time period do my taxes cover?

The tax liability covers the calendar year, from January through December. The 1st installment on that liability is due by November 1. The second installment is due by May 1 even though this date is in the following tax year.
