Real Estate taxes become delinquent on April 1 of each year. After real estate taxes become delinquent, they are advertised in a local newspaper once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks. The advertising and collection costs are added to the delinquent tax bill. Beginning on or before June 1, the Tax Collector is required by law to hold a Tax Certificate Sale. The tax certificate represents a lien on unpaid real estate properties. Interest accrues on the tax certificate from June 1 until the taxes are paid. The amount of the certificate is the sum of the unpaid real estate tax and the non-ad valorem assessment, interest, advertising costs and fees.
- To make payment on delinquent taxes, payment must be made by certified funds, cashier’s check or money order. No personal checks will be accepted.

- Delinquent tax amounts are subject to change without notice.
- Discounts do not apply to delinquent payments.
