Every year the County Treasurer collects the Real Estate taxes due by property owners to the County. The amount is owed typically by early spring with discounts offered to payees that pay well before the deadline. Amounts owed are based off the properties total assessed value as of January first of the tax year.
Individuals who do not pay their Real Estate tax by the end of the calendar year are considered delinquent by the County Treasurer. These properties are turned over to a third-party for collection. While properties that pay their taxes after the past due notices are sent out are considered delinquent, only those who are not paid off by the end of their respective tax year are included in this dataset.
Residents may be eligible for tax exemptions and abatement for numerous reasons, including if the property is their primary residence, or if they meet certain criteria in age or income. A full list can be found on the County website, and the schedule for the current year is available on the Treasurer’s website.
