Statewide schedule — read this before you rely on it
State law lets each county adopt an earlier due date or installment billing, so a meaningful minority of the 159 counties do not use December 20. Most counties in this state follow these dates.
Unpaid taxes begin accruing monthly interest and penalties, and the tax commissioner records a lien (fifa) that can lead to levy and sale of the property.
County tax commissioners mail bills in the fall once millage rates are set, and the bill must give the taxpayer 60 days from postmark before interest begins.
