Important Notice: Taxpayers who choose to mail their property tax payments should be aware of recent updates to the United States Postal (USPS) postmark practices that may affect payment timeliness. Postmark dates reflect when mail is processed, not when dropped off in the mailbox. To ensure timely payment, residents should allow extra mailing time, request a hand-stamped postmark, or use an alternative payment method.
