How the plan works
- Applicants will be notified in writing of the monthly payment to be deducted on the 16th day of each month.
- Annually, in June, the monthly payment will be revised to provide for payment of the year's taxes by December. Notification of the revised monthly amount will appear on the Final Tax Notice.
- Returned payments (NSF, etc.) will be subject to a $40.00 charge, penalty, and interest charges. Failure to replace a returned payment by the end of the month will result in automatic cancellation from the plan.
- The taxpayer may cancel the plan in writing by the 10th day of the month. Any outstanding taxes become automatically due and are subject to penalty and interest charges.
