Reminder notices are mailed out following each tax installment due date. These notices will only be mailed to properties showing arrears in excess of $10.00. Contact the Treasury Department if you have not received your Tax Notice. Interest and penalties will be added to all unpaid property taxes on the first day of each month after the due date.
