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 2010 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 of the total estimated tax discounted 6% if payment is received in June.  Payment received in July will not be discounted and will include a 5% penalty.

2nd installment: 1/4 of the total estimated tax discounted 4.5%.  Payment required by September 30.
