Property Tax Late Charges
Taxes become delinquent if not paid by the due date. A delinquent tax incurs interest at the rate of 1% for the first month and an additional 1% for each month the tax remains delinquent.
In addition to interest, delinquent taxes incur the following penalties:
- 6% for the first month
- an additional 1% for each of the following 4 months
- an additional 2% for the sixth month, for a total of 12%
Collection Fee
Current taxes remaining delinquent after June 30th during the first year of delinquency will incur an additional 15% collection fee.
If there is an existing lawsuit for earlier years, the 15% collection fee will be added immediately on the first regular business day in February.
NOTE: If the last day for the performance of an act is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal state or national holiday, the act is timely if performed on the next regular business day.
