Secured property taxes are secured by the real property for which they are assessed. In addition to the standard annual property tax billing, there are several other types of secured taxes that may be billed throughout the year including: supplemental, corrected, additional and escaped tax.

Supplemental property taxes are issued when there is an increase in taxable value caused by a change in ownership or construction. More than one year may be affected by the increase in value, causing more than one supplemental bill to be issued. Even if a property has been sold, the original owner may be billed for any change in value relating to the dates of their ownership.

Unsecured property taxes are assessed to personal property and receive an unsecured tax bill. Personal property taxes are the responsibility of the person or entity that owned the property January 1st proceeding the tax year. There are several types of unsecured property including: business property, vessels, aircraft, possessory interest, delinquent mobile homes and certain supplemental taxes if billed after a change in ownership.

Please note: Failure to receive a tax bill in no way relieves the property owner of the responsibility of paying proper tax liens when they become due and payable.
