Property Tax Payment Deadline!

Okaloosa County Tax Collector Ben Anderson would like to remind Citizens of the March 31st deadline for paying 2019 Property Taxes. Property taxes not paid by March 31st become delinquent and will be subject to delinquency interest and advertising fees, which are added to the gross amount due. Anderson reminds taxpayers, “Payments can be made quickly via our secure website OkaloosaTax.com. When paying online we encourage you to take advantage of our E-check option…using an E-check is FREE.”   Another payment option for Tax Payers to consider for future tax payments is the Property Tax Installment Plan. This option is now available for the 2020 tax year. The Installment Plan divides the annual taxes into four (4) payments – due June, September, December and March. The Installment Plan provides a total discount of 3.3% over the life of the plan while adding the convenience of spreading out payments in place of making one lump sum payment. Applications for the Installment Plan are accepted through April 30, 2020, and can be completed online at OkaloosaTax.com.
