Pay Online
The best option is to pay online at taxcollector.com! You may pay by electronic debit of your checking account (also known as e-check, which must be in U.S. funds) or by credit card or debit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
If you use a bank internet bill-paying service, include the correct property identification number with each payment. Your payment must be scheduled to be received in our office by the last day of the discount period. Bill-pay services do not directly pay your taxes; they mail our office a paper check, which may not be received by the deadline. Payments received after the discount period will be returned. Our office is not responsible for payments not received when using an online bill-paying service.
Line of credit checks, credit card cash-advance checks or checks drawn on an ACH-blocked checking account are not accepted.

Pay In Person
Appointments are required for all in person transactions.
For in-person payments, we accept cash, check, cashier's check, money order, debit card (subject to your bank's daily card limit), credit card or certified funds. A processing fee applies if you pay by debit card or credit card. For debit cards, the fee is $2.50. For credit cards, the fee is 2.5% with a minimum of $2.50. Our office does not retain any portion of this fee.
Checks submitted in payment of any transaction must be in U.S. funds and must include full name, street address (no PO Box), home and work telephone number with area code, driver license number, and driver license state of issuance. Starter checks are not acceptable. Credit of payment is subject to check clearance. If your check is returned, it may be re-presented electronically. By submitting payment by check, you are authorizing service charges and processing fees, as permitted by Florida Statute 832, to be debited from the same account by paper draft or electronically, at the option of the tax collector.
Delinquent Taxes
All delinquent taxes must be paid in the form of cash, cashier's check, treasurer's check, money order, debit card, credit card or certified funds or credit card (if paying online only).
