Delinquent tax information

The fiscal year (or tax year) for all property is July 1 through June 30.

The total personal property tax becomes due and is considered
delinquent when any installment is not paid by its due date. Personal
property is subject to summary seizure and the responsible taxpayer is
subject to warrant service 30 days after the delinquency date.

Real property taxes become delinquent if not paid by May 15.
Foreclosure proceedings will begin on real property after three years
from the date taxes become delinquent.
