Due Date and Discount Periods

Property taxes are normally due and payable on November 1st of each year but are assessed as of January 1st of that year. Discounts for early payment are allowed during November 4%, December 3%, January 2%, and February 1%. No discount is allowed on March payments. Taxes are delinquent on April 1st of the year following the year of assessment.

Sec. 197.122, Florida Statutes, specifies that all owners of property are charged with the duty of knowing the amount of taxes due and paying them before the delinquency date. This means that failure to receive a tax bill will not relieve anyone from paying taxes or subsequent penalties, which are imposed on April 1st when taxes become delinquent.
