A reminder from Anne M. Gannon, Palm Beach County Tax Collector
…
If you have 2006 property taxes due, paying them by May 31,
2007 will save you money. Tax certificates and tax warrants
will be issued in June.
Tax certificates for real estate are sold at public auction
via the internet in June to replace uncollected tax dollars
for government agencies in Palm Beach County. The sale of
a tax certificate increases the final amount due by at least
10% for costs and minimum interest.
When tax warrants for tangible personal property are issued,
interest and other costs are added to the tax due. If the
taxes are not paid, the personal property may be seized and
sold.
Taxes may be paid in person at one of the following locations:
- Governmental Center: 301 N. Olive Ave., 3rd Floor, West
Palm Beach
- Glades Branch: 2976 State Road 15, Belle Glade
- North County Branch: 3188 PGA Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens
- Lake Worth Branch: 3551 South Military Trail, Lake Worth
- South County Branch: 501 South Congress Avenue, Delray
Beach
- Royal Palm Beach Branch: 200 Civic Center Way, Royal Palm
Beach
REMEMBER, DELINQUENT TAXES MAY ONLY BE PAID BY CASH, MONEY
ORDER, CERTIFIED CHECK, BANK DRAFT, U.S. POSTAL ORDER OR CASHIER'S
CHECK.
PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE TAX COLLECTOR NO LATER THAN
5:00 P.M., THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2007. THE POSTMARK DATE DOES
NOT SERVE AS PAYMENT DATE FOR DELINQUENT TAXES.
