Ft. Walton Beach, FL – Tax bills should be arriving any day now and if paid by the end of the month, Property Owners can take advantage of a 4% early payment discount. Tax Collector Ben Anderson says, “Tax bills were mailed on October 30, with November 30th being the deadline to receive that 4% early payment discount.” He continues, “Based on property owners taking advantage of that discount in November, our projection is to collect $160 million by November 30th, which represents 74% of the total tax roll.”
Tax Administrator Justin Gordon says, “To date, we have already collected $8.3 million, of which $5.5 million was paid online through our secure website.”
A variety of payment options are available. One option is the secure and fast online payment system at www.OkaloosaTax.com where there is no charge for using Echeck!
