Property Tax 

Property Tax Due Dates

Property tax must be paid in the Clay County Treasurer’s Office by the due date, the envelope must be postmarked by the due date, or the on-line payment must be made by 12:00 p.m. (midnight) on the due date to be considered paid on time. 

Note:  After 12:00 p.m. (midnight) the on-line payment option will no longer be available for any late payment of taxes.

The first half is due by May 15.  The second half is due by October 15 unless the property is classified as agricultural which has an extended second half due date of November 15. 

If the total property tax on a parcel is $50 or less per year, the whole amount must be paid by May 15.  

Penalty for Late Payment of Property Tax

To avoid a penalty envelopes must be postmarked by the due date to be considered paid on time or paid in the Clay County Treasurer's Office by the due date.

If you pay your property tax after the due dates, a penalty will be added to your tax.  The later you pay, the greater the penalty you must pay.  This table shows the penalty you will pay if your property taxes due are not paid before the date shown:

If the due date for your second half property tax payment is November 15 and your property is classified as AGRICULTURAL HOMESTEAD property, the penalty rates for late payment are: 6% if you pay from November 16 through November 30; 8% if you pay from December 1 through January 1; and 10% if you pay on January 2 or later.

If the due date for your second half property tax payment is November 15 and your property is classified as AGRICULTURAL NON-HOMESTEAD property, the penalty rates for late payment are: 8% if you pay from November 16 through November 30; 12% if you pay from December 1 through January 1; and 14% if you pay on January 2 or later.

If you own both a farm and another type of property, a home in town for example, the November 15 due date applies only to the property taxes on your farm property.  The property taxes on your other property are due October 15.  The special law does not apply to first-half property taxes.  First-half property taxes on all property including farm property are due May 15.
