It is the responsibility of each taxpayer to ensure that taxes are paid, regardless of whether a tax notice is received or not. If you do not receive a tax bill in November, contact our office at 352-368-8200. Taxes become delinquent on April 1, at which time interest and other applicable costs are added to the gross tax amount.

Taxes and Assessments are billed and paid in arrears, and are based upon the calendar year from January 1 through December 31. 

The law imposes 3% interest plus advertising costs on all unpaid Real Estate taxes.  Tax Certificates will be sold on all unpaid Real Estate Parcel Accounts on or before June 1, resulting in additional charges.  All unpaid Tangible Personal Property taxes will accrue interest at 1½% per month, plus advertising costs and fees.  Tax Warrants will be issued on Tangible Personal Property parcel accounts, which could result in the seizure and sale of your Tangible Personal Property.

Please forward the tax notice to the new owner(s), or return it to the Tax Collector’s Office immediately.  If you have sold a portion of the property, please call our office at 352-368-8200 to request a revised notice.
