Questions about Payment of Tax:

The Treasurer's Office makes every effort to mail all tax bills to the party responsible for payment. It is the obligation of the taxpayer to obtain the property bill(s) if not received in the mail. Failure to receive a tax bill does not excuse your failure to pay, nor does it relieve a taxpayer of the mandatory penalty and/or interest imposed by law.

Please notify the Treasurer's Office of any change in mailing address. There is a space provided for this purpose on your return envelope.

Remember to read the important information on the reverse side of your tax bill. Delinquent Payment Plans are available. Your delinquent balance can be paid off in installments while keeping your current tax paid. Please contact our office for additional information.

Monthly payments can be made on current taxes by pre-paying the amount
before it is due. Click HERE to learn about the Escrow Program.
