IMPORTANT NOTE

It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to contact the Tax Collector’s Office if you have not received a tax bill, a water and sewer usage bill or a water/sewer assessment bill. According to State statutes, failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the taxpayer of the requirement to pay the tax bill and any resulting interest if the payment is late.

REAL ESTATE TAXES
Real Estate taxes which exceed $100 may be paid quarterly. The Quarterly due dates are as follows:

1^st quarter due July 1^st, last day to pay without interest is August 1^st
2^nd quarter due October 1^st, last day to pay without interest is November 1^st
3^rd quarter due January 1^st, last day to pay without interest is February 1^st

Motor vehicle taxes are assessed on October 1^st of each year and the bill is due and payable the following July 1^st. This bill covers the assessment period of October 1^st to the following September 30^th.

Vehicles registered after October 1^st but before September 30^th are assessed on a supplemental billing which is due in January.

The Tax Assessor must receive a personal property declaration for this every October for billing the following July.
