Property Taxes Due January 31st

If you've been putting off paying the balance on your 2003 property taxes, now is the time to take care of it. A hefty 7% penalty will be charged to any balance unpaid on Sunday, February 1st. If you cannot pay the full amount, it still makes sense to pay off as much of the balance as possible as interest & penalties are based on the total amount due on that date. The penalty increases by 2% each month until June. Put off paying until July and you'll pay a whopping 35.7% penalty! Call the tax office at 362-3250 if you have questions about your 2003 tax statement.
