On the day following the first half due date (usually April 30), interest at one percent per month will be charged against the full year tax you owe as allowed by state law. In addition to the interest, on June 1 a three percent penalty will be charged against the full year tax owed. On December 1, another eight percent penalty will be charged against the full year tax as allowed by state law. Although interest continues to accrue as long as the tax remains delinquent, the penalty is assessed against the current year tax and for that year will not rise above a total of 11 percent (three percent after May 31 and an additional eight percent after November 30).
These interest and penalty amounts apply to both real and personal property, however the full year personal property amounts plus interest and/or penalties and collection costs must be paid if the first-half payment is not paid/postmarked by April 30. You may still pay the first half payment of a real property tax plus interest and penalties up through the October 31 second-half payment deadline.
