Property Taxes Deliquent April 1

March 26, 2013

Real estate and tangible personal property taxes become delinquent on April 1.

After the Saturday, March 31 deadline, a penalty of 3 percent for real estate and 1½ percent for tangible taxes will be assessed. Over $31 million (approximately 13%) of the Escambia County tax roll remains unpaid, according to Tax Collector Janet Holley.

Since the deadline falls during the weekend when the offices are closed, offices will still accept payments without penalty Monday, April 1 for in person payments only.

In addition, payments will be accepted without penalty if:

  • mailed with a postmark by March 31
  • left in any 24-hour drop boxes available at all offices by midnight March 31
  • made on the tax collector web site by midnight March 31

Drive thru service and 24-hour drop boxes are available at all locations.

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.

All tax collector offices will be closed March 29 in observance of Good Friday.
