Understanding Your Property Tax Bill

Tax bills are mailed once each year (usually in July). The tax bill contains four payment coupons that indicate the payment number (1, 2, 3 or 4), the quarterly tax due, and the due date.

Remittance requiring a receipt must be accompanied by the entire tax bill with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. If you do not require a receipt simply detach the appropriate payment coupon from the tax bill and mail it or deliver it to the Tax Collector’s Office together with your check or money order. Please do not mail cash.

The final annual tax rate is not known until all four taxing agencies have adopted their budgets. This usually occurs during June or July of each year.
