Taxes are due each year for real estate, business personal property, and individually owned personal property on September 1. Tax bills must be paid in full by January 5 of the following year to avoid interest. If mailing the payment, the envelope must be postmarked on or before January 5 as affixed by the US Postal Service. 

There are several possibilities. We may not have received your payment from the Post Office, or your payment may have crossed in the mail with the delinquent notice among other possibilities. To verify the status of your account, please call our collections staff (252) 482-8486.
