Tax statements are prepared in October to assure that they are ready to mail the first week in November.

If you do not receive a tax bill by December 1st, please call the Collector's office.  Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the obligation to pay taxes or applicable late fees.

Tax payments are accepted by mail.  When paying by mail, be sure to include your statement.  After     processing your payment, the collector's office will mail you a paid receipt back to you.

If you are paying after the due date of December 31st, please refer to the delinquency schedule printed on your tax statement of correct payment due.
