FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
- When are property tax bills due?
Estimated 3rd quarter: You will receive an estimated 3rd quarter bill as a single stub. This is your 3rd quarter bill, due August 1. If you have a mortgage company, they will also receive this bill.
Final & Preliminary bills: You will receive four stubs: August (should have already been paid from your 3rd quarter estimated bill), and November for current year; and February and May for the following year.
- What if I pay my property taxes through my mortgage company?
If you pay your taxes through your mortgage company, the statement will say, “Advice Copy Only”.
If you receive a “Advice Copy Only” statement, but do not have a mortgage company, use this statement to pay your taxes. Your mortgage company should send us a notice to remove your bank code.
