Property Tax Bills
Tax Bills will be mailed out by the end of September for the Motor Vehicle, Personal Property and remaining balance due for Real Estate accounts AND are available to be viewed and paid online. These bills will be due October 1, 2025, and must be paid by or postmarked by November 3, 2025, to avoid interest. Interest accrues at 1.5% from the due date of October 1st, for a total of 18% per year. Please be aware that if paid late the interest rate is 3% for November 4-30th. Minimum interest is $2.00 per bill.
What if I do not receive a tax bill?
Not receiving a tax bill does not invalidate the tax and/or interest. If you do not receive a tax bill you can check online and print it out with the above link and/or call our office.
Motor Vehicle Accounts:
Please make sure to check your car registration to make sure it is still active, which could be the reason why you did not receive a tax bill. If there is a lapse in your registration, please call the Assessor’s office. They can add it on to the tax rolls once your registration has been renewed to avoid multiple tax bills being due at a later point.
Real Estate Accounts:
If you escrow your taxes to be paid by your mortgage lender your tax bill will be sent to them for payment.
If you recently paid off your mortgage, switched mortgage companies or now pay your own taxes, and you did not receive your tax bill please either use the link above to find your account or call our office to get a copy of your tax bill.
If you receive a bill that your mortgage holder is supposed to pay, please call and forward the bill to the mortgage holder so they have time to process and send the payment.

Payment Options and Information:
CHECKS ARE DEPOSITED ON THE SAME DAY THEY ARE RECEIVED. PLEASE BE SURE TO WRITE OUT YOUR CHECK CORRECTLY AND HAVE IT DATED FOR THE DAY PAYMENT IS MADE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
If you use YOUR BANKS BILL PAY, please be aware that a check is mailed to us WITHOUT a US postmark.
If we receive payment without a US postmark after the delinquent date, your bill will be considered late, and interest will be due. The guaranteed delivery date from your bank is not considered the same as a postmark per state statute and will not be used as such. If you proceed using your banks bill pay, please have payments mailed to
