We charge a late fee of 1% of the outstanding balance per month, added on the first day of each month. Properties that are in arrears for more than two years are subject to tax sale proceedings.

The property owner’s name and address which appears on your tax statement is in accordance with the latest information which has been made available to the City. It is important that the City office be advised promptly of any change of ownership or mailing address. It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure we have the correct mailing address. If you didn’t receive a tax statement, you are still responsible for paying your taxes. Tax arrears and penalties must be paid in full before payment can be applied to current taxes.

No, but you can appeal the assessed value of the property for the upcoming year through the Board of Revision held every fall.
