                    If interested please contact the Treasurer's Office for an application or download, print, complete, and return an ACH Application.

           Delinquent Monthly Plan -This is the most popular arrangement. The
delinquency is divided into any number of months ( 2 thru 24) with a payment due each
month. Current taxes must be paid timely as they become due. With this type of plan the
taxpayer receives a coupon booklet showing the installment amount due each month. If
payments are not made when due the contract is considered void and the property is
subject to foreclosure.

           Escrow Plan - This plan allows the taxpayers to prepay on future taxes. Coupon
booklets are mailed to the taxpayer at the beginning of each collection so that monthly
payments can be accumulated in advance for the next tax due date. The Treasurer applies
these to the tax bill at collection time.

           Delinquent Contract and Escrow Plan - Both a monthly contract can be made
on the delinquent taxes as well as a contract for the escrowed taxes. Separate coupons
are supplied for this purpose as described above.

2. Additional payments can be made on the contracts at any time, or a contract can be
paid off early without penalty.
