Paying Your Real Estate Taxes - Installment Plan

The Tax Collector's Office is authorized to allow taxpayers an alternative payment plan (installment plan) if their estimated taxes are more than $100.00. The taxpayer must complete a Notice and Application for Alternative Payment, or request in writing to the Tax Collector's Office prior to May 1^st. The first payment must be made no later than June 30^th. Failure to make the first payment will automatically cancel the participant from the plan, and the taxpayer will be required to pay the taxes due in full by March 31^st.

Upon meeting the first installment deadline, the taxpayer is obligated to participate in the program for the entire year. Any amount remaining unpaid on April 1^st is considered a delinquent tax. The following payment schedule applies to the installment plan:

• 1^st Installment: 1/4 the total of estimated taxes discounted 6%.
  Payment due by June 30^th
• 2^nd Installment: 1/4 to the total estimated taxes discounted 4.5%.
  Payment due by September 30^th
• 3^rd Installment: 1/4 the total estimated taxes plus the remaining ½ of any adjustment made for actual tax liability discounted 3%.
  Payment due by December 31^st
• 4^th Installment: 1/4 of the total estimated taxes plus the remaining ½ of any adjustment for actual tax liability. No discount applies.
  Payment due by March 31^st

Taxpayers participating in the Installment payment plan are automatically re-enrolled each year and do not have to complete a new application.
