REAL ESTATE TAX BILL INSTRUCTIONS
1. If your mortgage company or bank pays your real estate taxes, please forward this bill to them immediately.
2. Return tax bill along with payment. You may retain the taxpayer copy which, along with your cancelled check, will serve as your receipt.
3. When requesting a receipt stamped PAID by the tax collector, you MUST send both copies of the tax bill along with a self-addressed stamped envelope.
4. If for any reason this tax bill is not received by the taxpayer, the taxpayer is responsible as though they received the tax bill.
5. If taxes are not paid by December 31st of the current year, a lien will be placed against your property.
6. Payments must be received or postmarked by the USPS on or before the due date.
7. Checks returned for NSF (non-sufficient funds) or uncollected funds will not be considered timely payment.
8. If paying by any means other than traditional check (i.e. online bank, bill pay, online ACH), it is the taxpayer's responsibility to verify payment was received by the tax collector. Contact the tax collector within 15 days of initiating payment to verify payment was received. Failure of the payment to be received by the tax office in a timely manner will not alleviate taxpayer of additional charges or allow any extension of due dates.
9. Please inform the tax office of any address changes.
