NOTICE

Florida Law requires that your estimated taxes must be more than $100.00 per tax notice in order to participate in the Installment Payment Plan. If your estimated taxes for 2022 are $100.00 or less, you do not qualify for this plan.

You must make the first installment payment no later than June 30th in order to participate in this plan. If not, you will receive a tax notice for the entire amount due around November 1 and you must reapply by the following April 30 in order to participate in the installment for future years. Unpaid installments are delinquent April 1. If the taxpayer does not pay the fourth installment, the tax collector may issue a tax certificate on real property or a tax warrant on tangible personal property.
