Partial Payment Plan
The Columbia County Tax Collector has chosen to allow partial payments to be made against current property taxes as directed by Florida Statute 197.374. Payments under this plan will begin November 1st of each year.
The state approved payment plan is designed to allow payments to be made starting November 1st of each year and to have the balance of current property taxes paid by March 31st. Any balance remaining after March 31st will be considered delinquent and all applicable penalties, costs and fees will apply to the delinquent balance. If the balance is still remaining as of the Annual Certificate Sale a Tax Certificate will be issued which could result in loss of title.
Under the Plan there is a $10 processing and handling fee for each partial payment made. This fee will be deducted from the amount of your payment. For example if you make a $100 payment then $90 will be credited to your account.
It is the responsibility of the taxpayer participating in the partial payment plan to keep track of payments made and any balances due. There will be no reminder bills mailed prior to April 1st.
If you would like to pay your current property taxes under this Partial Payment Plan please fillout the Partial Payment Plan Agreement and return it to our office. By making application and signing this agreement you understand that payments will only be accepted under this plan from November 1st through March 31st and for each payment made there is a $10 processing and handling fee deducted from each payment.
You may pick up an agreement at our main office downtown, at our Fort White Office every Wednesday or online here. If you have any questions you may reach the Tax Collector's Office at (386) 758-1080.
