The quarterly installment plan enables a taxpayer to pay real estate taxes in four payments rather than one. To qualify to pay the 2025 taxes by installment, your 2024 taxes must be more than $100. The application is due April 30th. Once a property is on the installment plan, it is automatically re-enrolled each year. To take a property off the plan, do not make the first payment in June. The property will be dropped from the installment plan and the annual tax bill will be mailed in November.

Starting May 7, 2025, Florida residents planning to use their driver's license or ID Card to board a federally regulated domestic flight must have a REAL ID compliant card with a gold star. More information at www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/real-id/. If you do not already have a gold star, or if you have one but your information has changed, visit www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/what-to-bring to learn what you need to bring to update your card. When you have all your documents, schedule your appointment online.
