Deliquent Tax Collection
Welcome to the Delinquent Property Tax Office, where our primary mission is to manage and collect taxes that are over a year overdue, benefiting both county and state entities. Every year, our dedicated team collaborates closely with homeowners and business owners to facilitate the timely payment of these taxes.
We understand that managing tax payments can sometimes be challenging. To assist property owners in this regard, our department offers the option of setting up escrow accounts. This arrangement enables property owners to make regular, manageable payments towards their outstanding tax obligations, ensuring a smoother and more structured approach to debt clearance.
​
However, it is crucial for property owners to meet their financial responsibilities. In instances where an owner is unable or unwilling to fulfill their tax obligations, our department is obligated to take necessary legal steps. This may include filing a lien against the property and, as a last resort, initiating the foreclosure process.
We strive to work with property owners in a professional and empathetic manner, aiming for solutions that are beneficial for all parties involved. Our goal is always to find a fair and effective resolution while upholding our commitment to the fiscal health of our community.
