New deadline for residents to pay their 2019 property taxes.
The deadline was extended in light of the cyber-security incident on Dec. 13, 2019. Residents are now able to use the same options to pay their property taxes as they did before the incident — online, in person at City Hall, or by mail using the address provided on the return envelope of the mailing received over the holidays.

The City will also provide curbside drop-off service for property tax payments, during normal City Hall hours (8 a.m.-5 p.m.), Feb. 12, 13 and 14 at 1300 Perdido St. As a reminder, City Hall staff will be available to process check and money order payments only. Treasury is not accepting cash for property tax payments.
