Installment Payment Plan
Taxpayers may choose to pay their property taxes through a quarterly installment payment plan. To be eligible for the plan, the taxpayer must be current on their taxes and their prior year taxes must exceed $100.00.
Application
Applications for the Installment Payment Plan are available at each of our Orange County office locations and online.
Installments
The first and second installments are based on ¼ of the previous year’s taxes. The third and four installments are ½ of the remaining actual tax liability for the current year.
1st Installment
¼ of the total estimated taxes discounted at 6%. Payment due June 30.
2nd Installment
¼ of the total estimated taxes discounted at 4.5%. Payment due September 30.
3rd Installment
