Annual property tax bills are mailed in early October of each year. The bill is payable in two installments. The first installment is due on November 1 and is delinquent if the payment is not received by 5:00 p.m. or postmarked by December 10; a 10% penalty is assessed for delinquent payments.
First half taxes are due on or before Dec. 20, 2016. If first half taxes are not paid by this date, the full amount, including interest becomes due (for personal property only, not real estate). Second half taxes are due on or before May 10, 2017. If taxes are not paid by the due dates, interest of 10% per annum for real estate and 5% per annum for personal property will be added as provided by law, if the delinquency is less than $10,000.
