5. Can I pay a full year of my property taxes in September?

You can pay either the full year in September or just the half that is due. Only one billing is sent out for your tax bill.

If you do not pay the full year in September, be sure to remember you will have the second half due in the month of March the following year.

6. How do I avoid paying penalties or additional costs?

Be sure to bring your tax bill with you to pay your taxes or include the coupons if you mail your payments to the office.

If you’ve bought or sold property be sure to know if the buyer or seller is supposed to pay the taxes on each parcel. This is something that should have been discussed in your closing agreement. Since our tax bills are only billed once a year in the month of August, you will not receive a tax bill from us because it has already been sent to the previous owner.

Remember that you can pay online, in the office, through the mail or in our drop box.
