Important: Your Real Estate Taxes are now payable in November with 4% Discount

Paying Your Real Estate Taxes

 

Real Estate Taxes are collected on an annual basis by the Tax Collector's Office. The tax year runs from January through December.

Tax notices are mailed on or before November 1 of each year, with the following discounts offered:

• 4% if paid in November
• 3% if paid in December
• 2% if paid in January
• 1% if paid in February
• Gross tax if paid in March, no discount applies

Real Estate Taxes become delinquent on April 1 of the following year in which they were assessed. As of April 1, a 3% penalty is added to the gross tax amount due. Discounts do not apply to delinquent payments. Delinquent taxes for past years must be paid by cashier's check or money order. Personal checks will not be accepted.

If a taxpayer does not receive a tax notice in November, it is the taxpayer's responsibility to contact the tax collector's office to request a duplicate bill.

Pursuant to Florida Statute 197.122, all property owners are held to know that taxes are due and payable annually. They are charged with the duty of ascertaining the amount of current and delinquent taxes due.
