What additional fees are added when property taxes are not paid before the April 1st delinquency date?

This answer has been viewed 3142 times and was last updated on 02/28/2020.

Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes are due by March 31st; taxes become delinquent on April 1st.

Real Estate Taxes: Beginning April 1st, interest will accrue at 3%.  On May 1st, advertising ($6) is added. If real estate taxes remain unpaid, a tax certificate will be sold at the tax certificate sale on May 29, 2020, resulting in additional charges, and your property may be sold at a future date.

Personal Property Taxes:  Beginning April 1st, interest will accrue at 1.5% per month, plus a $10.00 collection fee. On May 1st, advertising ($3) is added. If personal property taxes remain unpaid, a warrant may be issued authorizing the tax collector to levy and seize personal property, resulting in warrant fees and court costs, and your property may be sold at a public auction to satisfy the unpaid taxes.

Delinquent taxes must be paid in the form of cash, cashier's check, treasurer's check, title company check, attorney's trust account check, money order, debit card or certified funds and by credit card (if paying online only).
