Contact our office immediately to initiate a payment plan if you are unable to pay the full redemption amount. This plan allows you to make payments on your defaulted taxes over a five-year period. Any payments made for a payment plan must be made with certified funds.
To open a payment plan you must:
- Pay any delinquent annual or supplemental taxes on the current tax roll
- Pay a $55.00 set up fee
- Make an initial payment of at least 20% of the redemption amount
Under the 5 year installment plan you are required by each April 10th:
- To make one payment of 20% or more of the redemption amount plus 1.5% interest accrued per month on the unpaid balance
- Pay any annual or supplemental taxes on the current tax roll in full
If you fail to make any installment payment or fail to pay any taxes on the current tax roll on or before April 10th of each year, your payment plan will default.
**installments are always due April 10th unless due dates fall on a weekend or holiday**
If a payment plan defaults:
A new payment plan can be initiated only after July 1st of the following default year of the plan (except after the 5th year following the declaration of tax default). All original requirements to initiate a new payment plan must be met.
If arrangements are not made timely, the property may be sold at the Defaulted Annual Tax Sale.
