The Tax Division of the Department of Finance is responsible for the issuing of tax bills and the collection of all taxes (real estate, personal property and motor vehicles), and tax liens levied by the City.

Mill Rate for current Fiscal Year 2010 - 2011 is 25.31 Mills.

A Mill is 1/1000 of a dollar

Taxes are computed by multiplying assessment value by the Mill Rate
Example: Assessed Value of Property $200,000
Mill Rate 25.31
Therefore: $200,000 x .02531=$5,062.00 annual tax

Real Estate Taxes and Personal Property Taxes over $100 are due in two installments. One-half due July 1st and one-half due January 1st. All bills are mailed in June with enough copies for both installments. No bill will be sent for the 2nd installlment in January.

Regular Motor Vehicle Taxes due in one installment on July 1st.

Supplemental Motor Vehicle Taxes are due in one installment on January 1st.

All taxes due have an initial thirty (30) day grace period.

Therefore, taxes due are not considered delinquent until the second of the month immediately succeeding the due date of the tax.

Tax payments may be made in person, by mail or credit card. Credit Card payments must be made through Official Payments online at http://www.officialpayments.com or by telephone to (800)272-9829. The City's Jurisdiction Code is 1788.

A payment postmarked by the first day of the month immediately succeeding the due date is considered on time.

Interest penalties on delinquent taxes accrue at a rate of 18% per annum by State Statute.

Payments received after the thirty (30) day grace period are considered two (2) months delinquent, i.e. 3% interest penalty, thereafter, 1.5%additional per month.

Checks returned for insufficient funds will be assessed an additional twenty dollar ($20.00) fee and tax, interest and penalty will be required to be paid by certified check or cash.
