You should pay your tax bills on or before the due date to avoid penalties and interest. You can pay your tax in two installments. The first installment is due by December 10 and the second installment is due by April 10. If you mail your payment and it is postmarked after the due then your tax will be considered as delinquent and payment will be returned. You will have to pay the penalty along with the tax amount.

If you pay a tax bill through a credit/debit card, a processing fee will be charged by the vendor. The fee is 2.35% of the total amount with a minimum fee of $1.49. While there is no fee for electronic fund transfers (EFT).
