The Office of the Tax Collector is responsible for the billing, collections, record management and receipt reconciliation of Secured, Supplemental and Unsecured property taxes. The Tax Collector's staff is available to assist individual taxpayers and mortgage professionals with questions regarding tax status, defaulted or delinquent tax payments, lot line adjustments, tax clearances, mobile homes, and payment plans for delinquent property.

Secured taxes are levied on real property, such as land and structures attached to land. Unsecured taxes are based on the value of personal property, such as business fixtures, boats and aircrafts. Supplemental taxes are an adjustment in the value of real property.
