The tax amount collected is based on an assessment that is done by the Tax Assessor. The assessment is used in calculations which include the amount of the millage a particular property is subject to paying. 

Current year taxes become delinquent at the close of business on December 31st of that year. After this date, the taxes become delinquent and are assessed at a rate of one percent interest per month or any part of a month.

The first which is usually published around mid April, the second in mid May, one week prior to the tax sale. Nearly 300 real estate property accounts are sold each year for delinquent taxes.
