Partial Payment for Real Estate Property Taxes

The Miami-Dade County Tax Collector allows partial payments of current year taxes for real estate and tangible personal property tax. Partial payments is defined as “a payment that is less than the full amount of taxes due”. The payment of partial payments will be available for current real estate and tangible personal property commencing November 1^st, 2011 through March 31^st, 2012. This option is available for 2011 property taxes only.

• There is a $10.00 processing fee for each payment submitted.
• Once you have elected to participate in the Partial Payment Plan by making the first payment, you are required to continue participation for the tax year and you “Waive Your Right” to receive applicable discounts granted per Florida Statute 197.162.
• Balance must be paid by March 31, 2012 to avoid the taxes from becoming delinquent and applicable interest and fees to be added.  If taxes are not paid by May 31, 2012, a tax certificate will be sold and the property may be sold at a future date.
• Taxpayers who maintain an escrow account with their mortgage company to pay for property taxes should not participate in the Partial Payment Plan.

If there is an outstanding Water, Road and Sewer Lien (WRS) being paid on an installment basis on your yearly tax bill, the installment portion for this year has to be paid in full prior to April 1^st in order to avoid the remaining balance due on the lien to become delinquent and a separate tax certificate to be sold for the remaining delinquent amount of the Water, Road and Sewer Lien.
