Statewide schedule — read this before you rely on it
All counties use the statewide January 15 deadline; only the optional installment ordinance differs. Most counties in this state follow these dates.
After January 15 a 3% penalty is added, rising to 10% after February 1 and 15% after March 16, when the treasurer issues a tax execution.
County treasurers mail tax notices in the fall, and payment is accepted from September 30 through the January 15 due date.
