My property was completely destroyed and/or is otherwise rendered uninhabitable as a result of Hurricane Ian? Am I eligible for an extenstion?

This answer has been viewed 2285 times and was last updated on 04/18/2023.

If your property was completely destroyed and/or is otherwise rendered uninhabitable as a result of Hurricane Ian, you qualify for a payment extension of your 2022 property taxes. The extensions are as follows:

1. Allows payment in the 4% discount period until January 31, 2023 (normally December 1, 2022).
2. Allows payment in the 3% discount until February 28, 2023 (normally December 31, 2022)
3. Allows payment in the 2% discount until March 31, 2023 (normally January 31, 2023)
4. Allows payment in the 1% discount until April 30, 2023 (normally February 28, 2023)
5. Allows no discount until May 31, 2023 (normally March 31, 2023)
6. Taxes will not become delinquent until June 1, 2023 if they remain unpaid (normally April 1, 2023).

To be granted the extension, you must complete the Important Property Tax Information Due to Hurricane Ian form and submit it to the Tax Collector's office by email (preferred and fastest method) at PropertyTaxes@taxcollector.com, mail, or in-person.  For more information view A Florida Property Owner's Guide: Executive Order 22-242, Hurricane Ian.

 

Important:  If you feel your property tax assessment should be adjusted for the next tax year (2023) because your property was completely destroyed and/or otherwise rendered uninhabitable (e.g. your home, storage building, shed, commercial building etc.), contact the Manatee County Property Appraiser at 941.748.8208. For more information, view A Florida Homeowner’s Guide: Hurricane Ian.
