Summer Taxes
Summer Taxes are delivered on or about July 1st each year and are due by September 14th. If September 14th falls on a weekend then the summer tax bill would be due on the next business day. If you do not receive a summer tax bill by July 5th, contact us immediately.
July Tax Deferral Eligibility
You may be able to defer your summer tax bill for one of the following reasons:
- You own a homestead property and are 62 years or older with an income of $25,000/year or less.
- Persons with a disability that allows them to qualify for an extra personal exemption on the State income tax form.
- Agricultural property in which the gross receipts of the farming operation are not less than the household income for the previous year.
If any of these criteria fit your situation, you may fill out a deferment form in our office or online. The deferral form must be filled out before September 14 each year.
Summer Tax Deferment Form – Deferring the summer tax bill means you have until the winter tax bill due date (last day of February) to pay your bill without penalty.
Deferment of summer taxes does not relieve the property owner from the payment of taxes, it only allows them to defer the payment until the last day of February.
If deferred, the summer tax amount will not appear on your winter tax statement.
All payments should be made by check, money order, or cash. Many banks and credit unions will issue a check or money order for a withdrawal at no charge or for a small fee.
