      encourage taxpayers to
      take advantage of early
      payment discounts.
      Remember, if you pay
      your taxes by Nov. 30,
      you will save 4 percent! Discounts are determined by the date
      they are postmarked or processed online. Don’t forget property
      taxes become delinquent if not paid by March 31.
      What If I Didn’t Receive My Property Tax Bill? How
      Can I Get A Copy?
        If you haven’t received your
      bill by Nov. 15, you can view
      or print your property tax bill at
      www.pbctax.com. Always keep
      your mailing address up to date
      with the property appraiser’s
      office. This will ensure proper
      delivery  of  your  tax  bill  by
      mail.  Under  Florida  law,  a
      tax bill cannot be forwarded
      without a forwarding address.
        It is important to remember that failure to receive a
      property tax bill does not relieve you from paying by the
      due date.
