Installment Payment Plan

Taxpayers may choose to pay their property taxes quarterly by participating in an installment payment plan. To be eligible for the plan, the taxpayers’ prior year taxes must exceed $100.00 or be escrowed by a mortgage company. Those who qualify must fill out and return an Installment Plan application form to the Tax Collector’s Office by April 30. Application forms are revised and approved annually by the Department of Revenue in mid-January.

The plan requires that the first installment be made no later than June 30th. Failure to make the first payment will automatically terminate the participants eligibility for the remainder of the year. The taxpayer will then be sent a regular tax bill in November and must apply to be reinstated on the installment plan for the future tax years.
