UPDATE FROM THE TAX OFFICE:
Real Estate tax bills, based on the temporary rate of 31 mills, were sent out at the beginning of August. These bills MUST be paid by September 2nd. If not paid by then, interest will be added to the account. Please go to the Tax Collector’s department on the website on how interest is calculated.
If you use your banks bill pay, please be aware that a check is mailed to us without a postmark. If we receive ANY payment after September 2nd without a postmark it will be considered late. Please see payment options under the Tax Collector’s department for other means of paying. Interest cannot be waived per state statute. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the taxpayer from the responsibility of paying taxes or interest.
If your mortgage company will be paying your tax bill, the tax bill went to them for payment. If you have questions as to whether they will be paying the bill, you should contact your mortgage company to find out.
If you are supposed to pay the tax bill and you haven’t received your bill, please call the tax office or you can look it up online here: TAX BILL LOOKUP
Motor Vehicle, Personal Property, and the remaining balance due on Real Estate Accounts will be billed by the end of September to be paid in October with a delinquent date of November 3rd. These bills will be based on the recently adopted mill rate of 32.3.
