Tax rolls open on November 1st

The tax rolls open for payment on November the 1st for Ad valorem, personal property and centrally assessed properties for all areas of Franklin and Gulf Counties.

And, as usual, if you pay your local taxes early, you can save a substantial sum of money.

If you pay those your taxes before November the 30th you get a 4 percent discount.

If you pay before December 31st, you get 3 percent off.

Pay before January 31st and its 2 percent off, pay before the end of February, and its still a 1 percent discount.

Wait till April, however, and penalties will begin to accrue.

You can pay your taxes at the County tax collector's office in Apalachicola or at the courthouse annex in Carrabelle.

Statements will be mailed to all property owners at their last known address before November the 1st.

If you don’t get your tax bill by the proper date, be sure to contact the tax collectors office as soon as possible.
