APPLICATION FOR INSTALLMENT PAYMENT
OF PROPERTY TAXES
Section 197.222, Florida Statutes
Section 197.222, F.S., allows a taxpayer to prepay property taxes by an installment payment method. A taxpayer who
chooses to pay taxes by the installment method will make quarterly payments based on an estimated tax equal to the
actual taxes levied on the property in the prior year. Under Florida law, your estimated taxes must be more than $100 for
each tax notice to qualify. You confirm your participation in the plan when the tax collector receives and applies your first
installment payment.
