Q: When are property taxes due and how can they be paid?

A: Property tax payments are payable Nov. 1 through March 31 and will become delinquent April 1. Payments can be made in person, mailed in, paid online or placed in our drop box. Payments that are mailed in must be postmarked on or before March 31, 2023. There is a 2.5 percent credit/debit card convenience fee or a $1 echeck fee if paid online.

Q: Can property taxes be paid in installments?
A: Section 197.222, FL Statutes allows a taxpayer to prepay property taxes by an installment payment method. Payments are made on a quarterly basis and based upon an estimated tax equal to the actual taxes levied on the property in the prior year. Your taxes must be more than $100 to qualify.

The first installment is due June 30, the second installment is due Sept. 30, the third installment is due Dec. 31, and the fourth and final installment is due March 31. 

Installment applications must be received prior to May 1 of the year in which the taxpayer elects to prepay taxes in installments. If the first installment payment is not made, the account is removed from the installment plan and you will receive a tax notice on or around the first of November for the entire amount due.
