Eligibility Requirements for the 2024 Installment Plan:
• Submit a 2024 Installment Online Application by April 30, 2024. Apply online beginning November 1, 2023, at
https://county-taxes.net/broward
. The online application can be found by clicking “Property Tax”, then search for your property
account information by entering your property account number, name or address.
• To be fully enrolled you must respond to the confirmation email.
• Your estimated taxes must be more than $100 per tax bill.
• Your taxes are NOT being paid by your mortgage, Escrow account, or a tax-paying agent.
• Make a timely First Installment payment to fully enroll in this plan – failure to make a payment by July 31, will
automatically cancel your account from the installment plan.
Installment Payment Schedule and Discounts:
• 1st Installment, payable by *June 30: ¼ of the previous year’s taxes discounted 6%.
• 2nd Installment, payable by September 30: ¼ of the previous year’s taxes discounted 4.5%.
• 3rd Installment, payable by December 31: ½ of the current year’s adjusted tax amount discounted 3%.
• 4th Installment, payable by March 31: ½ of the current year’s adjusted tax amount, no discount.
*If the first installment bill is not paid by June 30, you still have the option to make your payment by July 31 – however, the 6% discount
is lost, and for Tangible accounts only: you must pay an extra 5% penalty to stay enrolled in the plan.
What happens when my taxes become delinquent?
Taxes become delinquent if not paid by March 31, all taxes not paid before April 1 will have a 3% delinquency
interest and advertising fees applied to the total amount still due (1.5% per month interest for Tangible taxes).
• Partial payments cannot be accepted for delinquent taxes and delinquent tax payments are posted as of
date received – mailed postmark dates do not apply.
• On or before June 1, the Tax Collector must conduct a Tax Certificate Auction of all qualified, unpaid delinquent real estate
accounts.
• At the Tax Certificate Auction, investors pay the taxes due in exchange for a tax certificate, which is a lien on the property,
issued at the winning bid rate of interest. Tax Certificates convey no property rights to the winning bidder.
• Once a certificate is sold at auction, a taxpayer must pay all delinquent taxes, accrued interest, advertising costs and fees to
redeem the certificate. Only cash, certified funds, or wire transfer payments are accepted. Interest continues to accrue until the
certificate is redeemed. No personal checks can be accepted once a tax certificate is issued.
• If delinquent taxes are unpaid for 2 years, the certificate holder can file a Tax Deed Application and the property may be sold
at a Tax Deed Sale to repay their investment costs, per Florida Statute 197.502.
Other Commonly Asked Questions
How do I change the mailing address my tax bill is sent to?
Contact the Broward County Property Appraiser,
https://bcpa.net
, to request a mailing address change – the Tax Collector will be
notified of the new mailing address.
Am I required to pay taxes if I filed a Value Adjustment Board petition?
Yes, Florida Statutes 194.014 requires any taxpayer who filed a petition to make a minimum statutory payment by March 31.
Failure to make this payment by March 31, will result in the denial of your petition. A “VAB Partial Payment” calculator is
available on our payment website to assist in determining the amount of your required partial payment,
https://county-taxes.net/broward.
Why did I receive a tax bill if I have sold the property?
Your sale, or the recording of your sale deed, probably occurred after the tax bills were prepared in October. We advise that you
contact your closing agent to confirm that your responsibility for a prorated portion of the taxes was addressed in your closing
documents. However, the new property owner is responsible to pay the current tax bill in full.
