Taxpayers may pay their property taxes in installments. To
participate in the installment payment plan, the taxpayer
must complete an Installment
Payment Application and have estimated taxes due of more
than $100. Please mail your completed application to:
Palm Beach County Tax Collector
P.O. Box 3715
West Palm Beach, FL 33402-3715
The application for the Installment Payment Plan applies
to next year's taxes.Taxpayers must submit the application
to the Tax Collector no later than April 30 and make the first payment
by June 30.
The taxpayer officially enrolls in the installment payment
plan by making the first payment by the June deadline. Continued
participation is required for that tax year. Annual renewal
is automatic as long as the June payment is made each year.
A taxpayer who elects the installment method pays based on
an estimated tax equal to the actual taxes for the preceding
year. The payment schedule is:
- 1st Installment - Due by June 30: 1/4 the total
estimated taxes discounted 6%.
- 2nd Installment - Due by September 30: 1/4 the
total estimated taxes discounted 4.5%.
- 3rd Installment - Due by December 31: 1/4 the total
estimated taxes plus 1/2 of any adjustment for actual tax
liability discounted 3%.
- 4th Installment - Due by March 31: 1/4 the total
estimated taxes plus the balance of any adjustment for actual
tax liability.
The taxpayer will receive two notices from the Tax Collector’s
office. Each notice will have two payment coupons to send
in with your installment payment. The notices are mailed June
and December.
Delinquent installment payments must be paid in full with
the next installment. Any amount remaining unpaid on April
1 is treated as delinquent.
