The Tax Collector is responsible for the billing and collection of real estate taxes, delinquencies, and billing adjustments. Tax bills are mailed in July; payment is due quarterly on August 1, November , February 1, and May 1. Unless you are otherwise notified (see your tax bill or visit the 'latest news' on our home page), payment must reach our office by the 10th of each tax quarter. Payments received
after the 10th will be considered delinquent and subject to interest from the due date of the 1st. Taxes may be paid with cash, personal or certified checks, and money orders.
