General Information about tax bills
Taxes may be paid in full in one payment or in two installments. No Partial Payments. Your canceled check will serve as your receipt. Please bring entire bill when making payments. Cash payments must be made in person. Do not send cash in the mail. Tax bills are mailed out with two stubs on the bottom of each bill the first installment and the second installment, with the due dates located on each stub.
Due dates are shown on front of bills and interest will be added at the rate of 1 ½% per month for all real estate property effective on the first day following each due date until tax is sold or forfeited. Parts or fractions of a month shall be considered as a month. Late payments which do not include penalty will be returned. The County Collector will not be responsible for, failure to receive tax notice, or any omission of property or for the payment on wrong tracts or lots. Neither failure to receive a tax statement, nor receiving one late will relieve the taxpayer from paying the taxes or any penalties which may become due.
