Are your Property Taxes Delinquent?

It’s April. Property Taxes are delinquent. Now, what happens? When Real Estate Property Taxes become delinquent, 3% interest plus advertising charges, will be applied to the total amount due. Tangible Personal Property Taxes also become delinquent April 1, at which time 1.5% interest plus advertising charges will be applied to the total amount due. Real estate property taxes still delinquent on June 1, 2009 will be included in the Tax Certificate Sale.
