Property Taxes Are Now Late, But There’s A Reprieve

April 2, 2012

Real estate and tangible personal property taxes became delinquent on Sunday, but there’s a little reprieve if you forgot to pay up on time.

Since the March 31 deadline fell during a weekend when the tax collector officers were closed, offices will still accept payments without penalty on Monday, April 2 for in person payments only.

If not paid by today in person, a penalty of 3 percent for real estate and 1½ percent for tangible taxes will be assessed. At last report, over $32.5 million (approximately 13%) of the Escambia County tax roll remains unpaid, according to Tax Collector Janet Holley.

You may check the status of your taxes and pay online at www.escambiataxcollector.com. For more information, contact the tax collector’s office at (850) 438-6500, ext. 3252.
