Property Taxes
An Explanation of the Tax Form
So, you too are having trouble discerning the property tax form.
Not to worry, we've added pull-outs to the form below to help clarify
any common misconceptions.
Paying Your Taxes
Taxes shall be due and payable in two (2) equal installments
on or before May 10 and November 10.
If an installment of taxes is not completely paid
on or before the date, a penalty equal to ten percent (10%) of the
amount of the delinquent taxes shall be added thereto as a penalty.
All penalties shall be based on the principal amount of the delinquent
tax.
If any due date falls on a Saturday, a Sunday,
a national legal holiday recognized by the federal government, or
a statewide holiday, the act that must be performed by that date
is timely if performed by the next succeeding day that is not a
Saturday, a Sunday or one (1) of those holidays.
