Dear Friends:

‘Tis the season!  Not quite the holiday season, but for us in the tax collector’s office, tax season is officially upon us.  Our office has been planning and preparing for this and our goal is to provide you with the exceptional service you have come to expect from us.  But the reality is, our phones will be busy, our appointment times will fill early and the volumes of mail coming into our office will be substantial.  We stand ready to process your tax payments quickly and efficiently.  Having been through many, many tax seasons, I can offer some best practices to help you during this busy time.

• Pay online!  This is the easiest and quickest way to make your tax payment from the comfort of your home, office or even the beach!  Just visit www.pbctax.com/pay-online to make your payment.
• Use your bank’s bill pay service to have your payment made directly from your bank account to us.
  Please be sure to include your PCN or ACCOUNT NUMBER found at the top of your bill.
• You can visit any of our six service centers during business hours (M-F, 8:15 am – 5:00 pm) and drop your payment in our convenient drop box located inside each location, no appointment needed.
• You can also do a wire transfer to pay your taxes.  Just visit www.pbctax.com/wires for details.

As you can see, we offer many time-saving alternatives to paying your taxes by mail or by appointment and I encourage you to use one of these options.  Remember, the earlier you pay your property tax, the greater the money-saving discount you can take advantage of.  Saving time and money is something we can all use.

Sincerely,

Anne M. Gannon
Constitutional Tax Collector, Serving Palm Beach County
