Be sure to take advantage of the 4% early payment discount on your property taxes by getting your payment to our Office on or before November 30th. Tax Collector Ben Anderson says, “We all look for ways to save money and this early payment discount is a great way to do just that!”
Anderson says, “With property owners utilizing the 4% discount last year, taxpayers saved $6.16 million dollars and we predict the savings could be $6.4 million this year!” He continues, “Those dollars saved are staying in the pockets of the taxpayer, not going into government coffers.”
There are several payment methods to choose from. Anderson elaborates, “The quickest and most convenient way is to ‘Do Business Online, Not In Line’. Go to our website: www.OkaloosaTax.com and use E-check, it’s free!” Other methods of payment include dropping off payments to one of our conveniently located offices or by mailing those payments. For those who want to drop off their payments,
