Property Tax Payment By The Installment Method
Florida Statutes Section 197.222
|
| In order to participate in the property tax installment payment plan, you must apply prior to May 1st of the tax year for which application is being made and your taxes for the previous year must have been more than $100.00.
|
| If you are already participating in the installment payment plan for the current tax year, you do not need to reapply; you will automatically be re-enrolled.
|
| Discounts are allowed for the first three installment payments. Delinquent payments do not receive discounts, and any amount unpaid on April 1st is treated as a delinquent tax bill subject to a tax certificate sale. |
Taxes are paid in four installments.
First, in June with a 6% discount or, if paid in July with a 5% penalty;
Second, in September with a 4.5% discount;
Third, in December with a 3% discount; and,
Fourth, in March without a discount.
|
| The first installment payment is due no later than July 30th of the tax year in order to remain on the plan.
