ATTENTION TAXPAYERS
The Tax Collector’s Office is pleased to offer the Installment Application via
the Internet. In order to participate in the property tax installment payment
plan, you must apply prior to May 1st of the tax year for which application is
being made. The deadline for submitting applications for payment of upcoming
2008 property taxes by the installment method was April 30, 2008. If you
wish to pay 2009 property taxes by the installment payment method, please visit
our web site between November 1, 2008 and April 30, 2009 to complete an online
application
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 2008 are $100.00 or less, you do not qualify
for this plan. You must make the first installment
payment not later than June 30th in order to participate in this
plan. Once you have elected to
participate in the installment payment plan by timely paying the first payment
you are required to continue participation for the tax year. If you elect to
discontinue participation,
you will not be entitled to receive the discounts provided by law.
Installment payments that become delinquent
shall be paid with the next installment payment. Discounts will not be allowed on delinquent
payments.
Installment Payment Schedule
1st installment: 1/4 the total
estimated tax discounted 6% if received in June. Payment received in July
will not be discounted and will include a 5% penalty.
2nd installment: 1/4 the total
estimated tax discounted 4.5%. Payment required by September 30.
3rd installment: 1/4 the total

4th installment: 1/4 the total
