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.
If the first half of the personal property taxes are not paid by December 20th, the full tax amount plus interest becomes due starting December 21st. If the taxpayer paid the first half of their personal property on time, the second half of the personal property taxes are due on or before May 10th. If these taxes are not paid by May 10th, interest will begin to accrue. Delinquent personal property tax notices are mailed in June. If they are not paid, tax warrants are issued by the 15th of July.
