FORT WALTON BEACH — The deadline to receive a 2 percent discount on property taxes is now Monday, Feb. 2, according to Okaloosa County Tax Collector Ben Anderson.
“Because the January deadline falls on a Saturday, Florida statutes permit our office to extend the deadline for this early payment discount," Anderson said. "Thus far, through November (a deadline with a 4 percent discount) and December (3 percent), the early-payment discount has saved Okaloosa County taxpayers over $6.1 million.”
Property owners can pay taxes by 5 p.m. Feb. 2 at www.OkaloosaTax.com or visit the office, 302 Wilson St. N. 101, Crestview.
Property taxes become delinquent after March 31.
