Property tax levies, based on assessed values as of January 1st, become due and payable on November 1st of each year. A four percent discount is allowed if the taxes are paid in November, with the discount declining by one percent each month thereafter. Accordingly, taxes collected will never be 100 percent of the tax levy. Taxes become delinquent on April 1st of each year and tax certificates for the full amount of any unpaid taxes and assessments must be sold no later than June 1st of each year. Collections received subsequent to the tax sales are remitted by the Tax Collector directly to the certificate holders. Property taxes receivable and a corresponding reserve for uncollectible property taxes are not included in the financial statements as there are no significant delinquent taxes as of September 30, 2019.
