Property tax bills for 2014 have been issued to all property owners on record as of Jan. 1, 2014, Lieutenant Governor Osbert Potter recently announced.
The bills will become due on April 9 and Potter said a five percent discount will be given to property owners who pay their balances by the due date. The 2014 bills will become delinquent if not paid by Aug. 31. The deadline for filing formal appeals with the Board of Tax Review is Sept. 15.
According to information released from the lieutenant governor’s office, some property owners whose informal appeals have been considered may see new assessments on their 2014 bills. However, Potter said his staff will continue its efforts to review all other appeals and will make adjustments where necessary.
Consistent with past billings, the 2014 bill will also include information on unpaid tax years. Property owners who have not paid their 2013 or prior tax year should contact the Tax Collector’s Office to make payment arrangements.
Payments may be made at the following locations:
- St. John: Islandia Building
