What is the Installment Payment Program?

The Installment Payment Program is a program through which the Treasurer's Office is able to accept payments, a little bit at a time, for a future property tax bill. It is a great program that helps customers get ahead of the upcoming tax bills, rather than have to pay one large bill all at once.

Being in the program doesn't happen automatically. You will need to apply by completing our short application. Here are some criteria you should know before applying:

  1. Only certain property types are eligible for the program. They are: mobile homes, and residential and commercial property.

  2. It is a pay-in-advance program so you have to be current on all of your taxes before applying.

  3. We're required by State law to send you a bill every other month, equal to 1/6th of your prior year's taxes. However, the good news is that you can pay any amount you are most comfortable with and as frequently as you would like.

  4. Your final payment will be made when we send the final tax bill, which will show your total taxes, less the installment payments you've made, and the remaining balance due. If for some reason you overpay, a refund will be issued automatically.

  5. Once you're in the program, you're in until you let us know otherwise. If you want to withdraw from the program, please notify us in writing by October 16.
