What we are responsible for
The Tax Collector's office is responsible for billing, collecting, and maintaining all tax records.
Tax bills showing the total due as well as the installment due dates are mailed at the end of June. Supplemental motor vehicle bills (motor vehicles which are registered after October 1st) are mailed in December.
Payment of all taxes of $100 or less and all motor vehicle taxes are due in full in July. All other taxes may be paid in July or shall be paid in two installments due and payable July 1st and January 1st; no bills are mailed for the January installment.
Taxpayers have one month from the due date to pay without incurring interest. Per State statue, taxes draw interest at the rate of 1-1/2% per month (18% per year) from the due date on the unpaid balance. The Tax Collector does not have the authority to waive interest. Failure to receive a bill does not invalidate payment of taxes or penalties. Back bills must be paid before current taxes.
