What This Bill Does

Duval County property owners with estimated taxes over $100 can choose to pay in four installments rather than a single annual lump sum. This plan offers discounts for early payments but requires strict adherence to deadlines to remain enrolled.

Why it matters

Property owners who enroll in the installment plan can receive discounts on their total tax bill, but they must apply by April 30 and ensure the first payment is made by July 31 to avoid being removed from the program.
