Good News for Florida Homeowners
The Florida Senate passed a bill authorizing tax collectors to receive partial tax payments under certain circumstances. At his/her discretion, each tax assessor has the right to determine the qualifiers. Until now that option didn’t exists, state law prevented property owners to give a partial payment to property tax collectors unless they have agreed to a payment plan ahead of time. If there is a portion of the taxes still owed by May 1st that balance will be treated as delinquent taxes.
The law in not retroactive for 2008 property tax bills and will be in effect on July 1st, 2009 for this year’s property tax payment.
