Tax Installment Prepay Plan

The Tax Installment Prepay (TIP) Plan divides the Annual Real Estate Taxes in 12 portions. Taxpayers receive a coupon book with ten (10) coupons, enough for the entire year. The taxpayer makes five (5) installments per half and then the final bill shows the Half Tax less all prepayments and the balance due. There is no penalty if one of the payments is late or missed as long as the total Half Tax in paid in full prior to the closing date for that half.

To be eligible for this TIP Plan a taxpayer needs to have their taxes paid for the current Tax Year.

If you are interested in getting started on the Tax Installment Prepay (TIP) Plan please contact our office.
