Third party notification forms for property owners who are disabled or 65 years of age or older are available in the Receiver s Office. The property owner may designate an adult consenting third party to receive duplicate copies of tax bills and notices of unpaid taxes. Continued failure to pay all of the taxes levied against the property will result in your loss of the property. Postage meters and foreign postmarks are not acceptable. Timely payment of Property Taxes is the responsibility of the property owners.
Taxes paid by check are subject to collection.
In addition, neither the Receiver of Taxes nor any other official has legal authority to waive statutory penalty charges. These are fixed by the Real Property Tax Law. If they are waived, the collecting officer will be personally responsible. As all records are audited by State examiners, there is absolutely no discretion in this matter. The Constitution and the law of the State mandates the procedure.
