April 10th Delinquent Date Has Passed
The April 10th delinquent date has passed and a 10% penalty plus a $10 cost have been applied to the second installment of unpaid property tax bills. The legal basis to waive penalties for late payments is extremely limited.

Penalties will NOT be canceled for the following reasons:
- Forgot to pay.
- Paid one day late.
- Financial hardship.
- Lost tax bill. Failed to receive a tax bill.
- Thought the delinquent date was April 15th.
- Out of town on the delinquent date.
