Penalties, Arrears & Legal

Penalties

The deadline to pay taxes is August 31 of the current year unless you are on the pre-authorized payment plan (TIPPS). Payments must be received in our office by the end of the day of the deadline or a penalty will be incurred.
Penalty interest of 1.0% per month compounding is charged on current outstanding balances beginning September 1 to December 1. If there are arrears on the account, then the interest charged is 1.0% per those months compounding.
Penalty interest of 10.0% on taxes that remain unpaid after December 31 of the year that the taxes were levied will be charged January 1.
