When property taxes are not paid on time penalties and interest are applied. The penalty is usually a percentage amount for payments after the due date. For example, if real estate taxes have a 10% penalty for payments made after June 15, your property tax will be 10% higher if you pay it on June 16 or after. Interest is also applied to any amount unpaid after the due date. To continue with the earlier example, if I pay my real estate taxes on August 1 the original tax amount billed would have a penalty added for being paid after the June 15 due date and interest applied to the original billed amount at the uniform rate charged for nonpayment (usually as set annually by the tax ordinance for the taxing district). If you can't pay our property taxes ask your local assessor or tax collector to explain how penalties and interest are applied.
