Frequently Asked Questions

Property Tax is paid annually. Tax Notices are typically mailed in early to mid-September each year and are payable through the end of February. They become delinquent on March 1. Please thoroughly review your tax notice as it provides much helpful information such as a discount for early payment. Tax Notices are not required by State law but are sent as a reminder. If you do not receive your notice(s) by October 1 of any given year, please notify our office. Also, please notify us if your mailing address changes.
