If I file an Appeal, do I still pay my property taxes?

Yes, if you choose not to pay your taxes as they become due, you will not receive any applicable discount and if you are unsuccessful in your appeal to the Board of Property Tax Appeals, you will be charged interest on the past due tax at 1 1/3% per month as required by statute. If you pay your taxes and are successful in your appeal to the Board of Property Tax Appeals, you will receive a refund, plus interest of 1% per month from the date of payment. If you are successful in your appeal, the Tax Collector will issue a refund or adjust your taxes based upon the Board of Property Tax Appeals (BOPTA’s) order – no action is necessary on your part. Allow approximately 6 to 8 weeks from the date of the order for this adjustment.
