How does the Treasurer determine if a real estate tax payment is considered timely?

Per State Statute 74.69(1): Property tax payments are considered timely if:

  • They are in a properly addressed envelope.
  • They are postmarked on or before the respective due dates, with postage prepaid.
  • They are received by the proper official within 5 working days of the due date.

We urge taxpayers to mail payments several days early to avoid postal delay. You may consider going to the Post Office and having them postmark your envelope in front of you to assure timely payment.
