TAX COLLECTOR ENCOURAGES ONLINE PAYMENTS OF PROPERTY TAXES

The Okaloosa County Tax Collector’s office encourages property owners to pay property taxes online.   “This year, more than ever, we’re urging our customers to take advantage of our secure online payment options at OkaloosaTax.com. With the transition to appointment-only service for DMV related transactions, our ability to provide in-person service for property tax payments will be limited,” shares Okaloosa County Tax Collector, Ben Anderson. “Online payments made through your bank account (eCheck) are FREE, no additional fees are charged and you still receive the full 4% discount. More importantly, online payments are convenient, simple, and secure.”

At a time when accessibility and safety are inextricably linked, the Tax Collector’s office has recently launched its redesigned secure payment website. “Our goal was to better meet the needs of our customers. We emphasized intuitive navigation. Search results are four times faster than before. And for the first time ever, users can create a profile and save payment information for future transactions,” explains Director of Tax Services, Justin Gordon. “We’re excited to bring these enhancements to our customers at a time when doing business with us online is not only encouraged but in some instances required “, adds Gordon.

Property owners who pay 2020 property taxes in November will receive a 4% discount. The deadline to receive the 4% early payment discount is November 30^th.  Payment options include online, by mail, or by drop boxes located at each office location.
