Florida law allows Tax Collectors to accept partial payments on current year property taxes (Real Estate and Tangible Personal Property) from November 1 through March 31 — but there are important rules to know before you choose this option.

 

Key Guidelines

• No discounts apply — all early payment discounts are forfeited.
• Partial payments are not accepted for delinquent taxes (unpaid after March 31).
• This option is not available online or by phone.

 

How to Participate

1. Download and sign the Partial Payment Plan Agreement (Affidavit)
   (Right-click the link and choose “Save Target As” to download.)
2. Submit the signed affidavit and your first payment:
   • In person or
   • By mail to:
     Duval County Tax Collector
      Attn: Tax Department
      231 E. Forsyth Street, Suite 130
      Jacksonville, FL 32202-3370
3. Send additional partial payments:
   • At any Duval County Tax Collector branch office, or
   • By mail (same address above)

Partial payments will be returned if a current signed affidavit is not on file.

 

Who Is Not Eligible?

• Taxpayers currently on the quarterly installment plan for the year.
• Property owners whose taxes are paid through a mortgage escrow account.

 

Important Deadlines

• Partial payments end March 31.
• Any remaining balance that is not paid before April 1, or the date of delinquency, becomes delinquent and shall be handled in the same manner as any other unpaid taxes.
  • Unpaid taxes are subject to interest, late fees, and advertising costs.
  • Unpaid taxes could result in the issuance of a tax certificate sale (real estate) or a tax warrant (tangible property).
