Florida property tax due dates 2027, delinquent April 1.

The Florida due date and delinquency date

Florida Statutes section 197.333 says all taxes "shall be due and payable on November 1 of each year or as soon thereafter as the certified tax roll is received by the tax collector." Taxes "shall become delinquent on April 1 following the year in which they are assessed or immediately after 60 days have expired from the mailing of the original tax notice, whichever is later." For the 2026 tax year, the bill is due November 1, 2026 and delinquent April 1, 2027, a Thursday. Pay by Wednesday, March 31, 2027 to stay current.

The 4-3-2-1 discount schedule

Section 197.162 sets the discount for taxes the county tax collector collects at 4 percent in November (or within 30 days after the original tax notice is sent), 3 percent in December, 2 percent in January, 1 percent in February and zero in March. Unlike Texas, this schedule is set by statute, not adopted unit by unit. Worked example: on a $4,000 bill, paying in November saves $160 (you owe $3,840), December saves $120, January $80 and February $40.

Weekend rule for the 2027 dates

Subsection (4) of section 197.162 says that if a discount period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the period "extends to the next working day, if payment is delivered to the designated collection office." In 2027, January 31 and February 28 are both Sundays. The January 2 percent discount period therefore runs through Monday, February 1, and the February 1 percent period through Monday, March 1. The statute requires payment to be delivered to the collection office, so do not rely on the last day.

Paying by installment

Section 197.222 lets a taxpayer prepay by installments when estimated taxes exceed $100, based on the prior year's levy, but the application must be filed with the tax collector on or before April 30 of the year the taxpayer elects to prepay. Read section 197.222 or ask your tax collector for the installment terms.

Corrected tax notices

If you ask for your notice to be corrected, the discount rate in effect at the time of your request applies for 30 days after the corrected notice is sent. After a value adjustment board action that produces a corrected notice before delinquency, a 4 percent discount applies for 30 days.
