How do I avoid paying penalty or costs?
•Be sure to bring your tax bill with you to pay them or include the coupons if you mail your payment to the office.
•We have a secure payment box at the kiosk.
•If you've bought or sold property, be sure to know if the buyer or seller is supposed to pay the taxes on each parcel. This is something that would have been discussed in your closing agreement. Since our tax bills are only billed once a year in the month of August you will not receive a tax bill from us because it has already been sent to the previous owner.
•Keep track of a list of your parcel numbers and a list of the payments made.
•Remember that taxes can always be paid online. It only costs 30 cents to use your checking account information to pay online.
