NOTICE
     

Florida Law requires that your estimated taxes must be more than $100.00 per tax notice in order to participate in the Installment Payment Plan. If your estimated taxes for 2008 are $100.00 or less, you do not qualify for this plan.

You must make the first installment payment not later than June 30th in order to participate in this plan. Once you have elected to participate in the installment payment plan by timely paying the first payment you are required to continue participation for the tax year. If you elect to discontinue participation, you will not be entitled to receive the discounts provided by law. Installment payments that become delinquent shall be paid with the next installment payment. Discounts will not be allowed on delinquent payments.
