Tax Collections

WHEN DO I RECEIVE MY TAX BILL?
Tax bills for real and personal property are usually mailed in July/August of each year. Taxes are due on September 1 and delinquent on January 5th of the following year. Enforced collections may begin immediately once the taxes are delinquent. Action for collection may include wage garnishment, bank account attachment, seizure and sale of personal property, or foreclosure. Additional fees will be added to the unpaid bill for forced collection.
CAN I MAKE AN ELECTRONIC PAYMENT?
Yes. Electronic check payments and credit card payments may be made by calling (877)690-3729. You will be prompted for a jurisdiction code. Please enter (4351) for Lee County.

You can also click on Taxes Online  Credit and Debit Cards are now accepted in our office.  

There is a fee charged by Forte for this service.
HOW IS MY TAX CALCULATED?
Tax rates are per every $100 in value. You can divide your tax value by 100 then multiply by the appropriate tax rates for the county and district. Please note that the solid waste fee is in addition to the levied property tax.
