Can I get a copy of my tax bill?
Yes. However, there is a copy charge. Please contact the
Clerk’s office for further details.
If I mail my tax payment, do I get a receipt?
Your canceled check will serve as your receipt. If you
require a stamped, paid receipt, you must send your tax statement and a
self-addressed stamped envelope with your payment.
When are penalties and
interest applied?
Summer -
Penalties (3%) are applied on August 1, Interest (1/2%) is
applied on the 1st of every month.
Winter -
Penalties (3%) are applied February 15.
Can I make a partial
payment?
Yes, but it must be for the
full amount of the entity you are paying. For example, if
you choose to pay the college portion of your tax bill, but
not the City portion, you must pay the entire college
portion that is due. Please note that your tax bill must be
paid in full before March 1, or they are turned over to the
county as delinquent.
Note: We do not accept postmarks; payment must reach us by the due
date. |
