Need a Breather from that Annual Property Tax Payment?

Did you know that property taxes may be paid in installments? The Installment Payment Plan provides for a 3.5% discount (paying your taxes in full in November provides for a 4% discount). To participate in the Installment Payment Plan, the taxpayer must have more than $100 estimated taxes due and complete an Installment Payment Application available on our website at www.taxcollectorpbc.com.

The application for the Installment Payment Plan applies to next year’s taxes.

The application must be received in the Tax Collector’s Office by April 30 and the first payment must be made by June 30. A taxpayer who elects the installment method pays based on an estimated tax equal to the actual taxes for the preceding year. After the tax roll is certified, the final 2 installment payments are adjusted to reflect the actual tax liability. The payment schedule is:

1st Installment - Due by June 30

2nd Installment - Due by September 30

3rd Installment - Due by December 31

4th Installment - Due by March 31

What are you waiting for? Download an application at www.taxcollectorpbc.com or pick up one at any our branch offices.
