| PROPERTY TAX / INSTALLMENTS AND PARTIAL PAYMENTS |
INSTALLMENTS & PARTIAL PAYMENTS Installments In order to participate in the property tax installment payment plan, the property owner must apply prior to May 1st of the tax year for which the application is being made and the property taxes for the previous year must have been more than $100.00. If a property taxpayer is already participating in the installment payment plan for the current tax year, they do not need to reapply; they will automatically be reenrolled. Taxes are paid in four installments, as follows:

Once you have completed the form, mail to: PO Box 1189, Bartow, FL 33831-1189. This application can also be obtained at one of the Tax Collector's Customer Service Centers (Branch Offices). Requests for Application For Alternative Payment can also be e-mailed to: Taxes@Polktaxes.com. Partial Payments Chapter 197.374 Florida Statute allows a taxpayer to make partial payments of the current year taxes. If a taxpayer enters into an agreement with the Tax Collector they agree to pay an additional $10.00 processing fee per payment, forfeit any discounts, maintain a record of the remaining balance due and make final payment of all taxes by March 31, 2010 to avoid a tax certificate being sold (tax lien) on the property. In order to make partial payments regarding a current Polk County Property Tax Bill, the taxpayer must complete, initial where indicated and sign the required affidavit form for each applicable property tax account. Once completed, the affidavit form should be submitted to the Polk County Tax Collector's Office with the tax payer's first partial payment.
