Today’s The Deadline To Save On Your Property Taxes
February 28, 2010
Time is running out if you want to save one percent on your property tax bill.
A one percent discount when you pay your real estate and tangible personal property taxes is ending, according to Janet Holley, Escambia County tax collector. Over $44 million — about 18 percent — of the tax roll remains unpaid.
Since the deadline falls during the weekend when the offices are closed, offices will honor the one percent discount Monday, March 1, for in person payments only.
In addition, payments will receive the one percent discount if:
- mailed with a postmark of February 28
- left in a 24-hour drop box available at all tax collector offices by midnight February 28
- made on the tax collector web site by midnight February 28
- made on the tax collector after-hours automated telephone (800) 601‑1055 by midnight February 28
Drive thru service and 24-hour drop boxes are available at all tax collector locations.
