Supplemental Property Tax
Supplemental bills are generated due to a reappraisal for new construction or a change in ownership including the location of a mining claim. Bills are generated by the Assessor's Office and mailed throughout the year. Due dates vary and are at least 30 days from the billing date.
Supplemental tax bills are mailed only to the property owner and are usually not paid by an escrow account. If payment is to be made by your lending agency, it is your responsibility to forward the bill to them as the Tax Collector's Office will not provide your lender with a copy.
Note: If a delinquent date falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date is the next business day.
To Avoid Late Penalties, It Is Very Important To Keep Us Informed Of Your Correct Mailing Address
