Early property tax discount deadline approaches

Okaloosa County property owners participating in the Installment Tax Payment Plan through the Tax Collector’s Office have until 5 p.m. June 30 to pay their first installment.

“Discounts for early payments are set forth in Florida Statutes; therefore, those on the Tax Installment Payment Plan realize significant savings — 3.375 percent — by meeting the quarterly payment deadlines," Tax Collector Ben Anderson said.

After the first payment is made, remaining payments are due Sept. 30, Dec. 30 and March 3.

The local Tax Collector's Office branch is 302 N. Wilson Street, Suite 101, Crestview.
