Did You Know?
- Taxes are due in two installments every year – half due in December and half due in April.
- If taxes are not paid by these deadlines, the counties add a penalty of 10% (that’s $100 per $1000 due) and, once delinquent, the bill starts to accrue interest.
- Delinquent property taxes accrue 18% compounding interest per year. That means the bill goes up 1.5% every month! (That is almost an additional $200 per year for every $1000 due)
- Once a property tax bill has been delinquent for 5 years, the county can legally auction off your property. Even if all the other years have been paid.
- Counties offer payment plans but typically require 20% of the total bill to be paid to start the plan. Formal payment plans usually do not prevent interest from accruing on the outstanding balance.
