There is a grace period of 10 calendar days for paying property taxes.
The tax payment must be in the office of the tax collector by the 10th of the
month or interest will be retroactive back to the 1st.
Payments received after the due date must be charged the rate of 8% per
annum on the first $1500.00 and 18% per annum over $1500.00 until property
becomes current. A penalty of 6% will be charged on delinquencies in excess
of $10,000 if not paid by the end of the fiscal year (December 31).
Tax sale proceedings can start when a property is delinquent after the
11th day of the 11 month of the year for which they are due, and may take
place anytime thereafter.
A tax sale is held annually for unpaid property taxes.
