"DON'T RISK A LATE POSTMARK! PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS MUST BE POSTMARKED BY SEPTEMBER 30."
⚠️ PROPERTY TAX PAYMENT DEADLINE REMINDER ⚠️
You Have 15 Days Remaining to Pay Your Property Taxes
Important Dates
✅ 11 Business Days Remaining to submit payment.
✅ Approximately 8 Postal Processing Days Remaining to ensure your payment receives a timely USPS postmark.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30 TO MAIL YOUR PAYMENT
Beginning with USPS processing changes, the date you place your payment in a mailbox may not be the date it receives a postmark.
A payment dropped in a collection box on September 30 may receive a later postmark date, depending on when USPS processes the mail.
