All VAB payment option taxes must be paid in full by 5:00 pm, March
31, 2020 to avoid penalties. Interest does not accrue on amounts
paid in excess of 100 percent of the current taxes due as provided on
the tax notice issued.
If your petition is denied – you owe ad valorem taxes in excess of the
amount paid. The unpaid amount accrues interest at the rate of 12
percent per year from the date of delinquency until the unpaid amount
is paid.
If your petition is granted – you may a) still owe ad valorem taxes
OR b) a refund may be due. Any owed taxes or overpaid amount
accrues interest at the rate of 12 percent per year from the date of
delinquency until the balance due/refund is paid.
The Tax Collector issues a refund only after the roll is certified by the
Value Adjustment Board. Thousands of VAB hearings are scheduled
every year. This is a lengthy process. Bills and refunds are expected to
be issued during the summer of 2020.

appeal process and/or final decisions please contact the VAB:
