Property tax payment methods, by mail

Your mailed payment is on time if postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service on or before 11:59 p.m., Jan. 31. A commercial postal meter imprint is not a valid U.S. Postal Service postmark. 

In 2025, the Postal Service instituted a nationwide change that affects when postmarks are affixed to mail. Unless a customer requests a postmark at a Postal Service retail location, postmarks are no longer added when mail is first received but are automatically stamped later while being sorted and processed at regional distribution centers.

Learn more about this change and how it can affect you if you mail your payment.
