FORT WALTON BEACH — Usually, the final day to receive a 4 percent early payment discount on property tax bills is the last day of November.
But that falls on the Sunday after Thanksgiving this year, so State Statutes allow the early payment discount deadline to be extended one business day through Dec. 1.
Customers paying by check can drop off payment in any branch location's “drop box” or in the lobby where Tax Collector staff will be staged to receive those payments on Nov. 24, 25 and 26. The nearest location is 302 Wilson St. N. #101, Crestview.
Mailed tax payments must be postmarked by Nov. 30 to receive the 4 percent discount.
