Next Tax Deadline?
Select your state — see your exact deadline, live countdown, and whether you’re on time or already accruing penalties.
Miami-Dade property tax payment is not something to rush. A property tax account can include ad valorem taxes, non-ad valorem assessments, prior-year balances, a mortgage escrow payment, a tax certificate issue, or a folio that looks similar to another property. Verify the record first, then pay.

Open the official Tax Collector page
Start from mdctaxcollector.gov or the official county-linked payment site. Avoid search ads, text-message links, and unofficial pages that imitate a tax payment screen.
Search by folio, name or property details
The Miami-Dade folio is a 13-digit property identifier. You can also use the Property Appraiser search to confirm folio, address, owner and value details before payment.
Match the property and tax year
Confirm property address, folio number, owner name, tax year, balance, discount, interest, and whether the bill is current or delinquent.
Pay and save your confirmation
Print or screenshot the payment confirmation. Keep the confirmation number, amount, date, folio and property address until the payment shows correctly.

Miami-Dade Tax Collector Office Hours: What to Confirm Before Visiting
The Tax Collector website lists its main contact information and shows many offices open Monday through Friday, with Saturday availability at selected locations. Some payment-method pages also list a separate in-person public service payment window. Confirm the location and service before going.
Main site hours
The Tax Collector site footer lists Monday through Friday hours and Saturday hours for the office network. These are useful as a starting point, but location pages should be checked before visiting.
Expanded office hours
A Tax Collector update listed several offices open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with some locations having different schedules.
Payment window warning
The payment methods page also references an in-person Public Service Office payment window of 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for the 200 NW 2nd Avenue office. Call before assuming every service runs until closing.
Best time to call the Miami-Dade Tax Collector
Call earlier in the day if your question involves delinquent taxes, a payment deadline, tax certificate sale, a cancelled online transaction, mortgage escrow, a mail payment, a business tax receipt, or tangible personal property tax. The office cannot always change or cancel an online transaction after checkout, so verifying first is safer.
Have these details ready before calling
- Folio number or property address.
- Tax year you are asking about.
- Owner name or business name on the record.
- Payment confirmation number if you already paid.
- Mortgage escrow details if your lender was supposed to pay.
- Tax certificate or delinquent notice details if applicable.
How to Search Miami-Dade Property Records Before Paying Taxes
The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser property search lets users search by address, owner name, folio and other property details. The 13-digit folio number is the safest identifier for a Miami-Dade property tax account.
The Tax Collector collects the tax bill, but the Property Appraiser website is often the best place to confirm the property’s folio, owner, address, assessment, exemptions and taxable value. Use both systems carefully: Appraiser for property identity and value; Tax Collector for bill and payment.
Search by folio
The folio number is a unique 13-digit number associated with a property. If you have it from your TRIM notice, tax bill or prior receipt, use it first.
Search by address
Try the street number and street name without extra punctuation. For condos, check if the property has a separate folio for the individual unit.
Search by owner name
Try owner name, spouse name, business name, trust name, estate name or prior owner name if the property recently transferred.
Verify property identity
- 13-digit folio number
- Property address
- Owner name
- Municipality or unincorporated code
- Condo or parcel grouping details
Verify payment details
- Tax year
- Ad valorem taxes
- Non-ad valorem assessments
- Discount, interest or fees
- Paid, unpaid or delinquent status
Property Search is not the payment office
The Property Appraiser says it does not send tax bills and does not set or collect taxes. Use the Property Appraiser to understand the property record, then use the Tax Collector to pay or resolve billing and collection questions.
Miami-Dade Tax Collector Payment Methods, Fees and Mail Instructions
Miami-Dade’s Tax Collector payment methods page explains online, mail and in-person payment rules. Review payment terms before submitting because transactions cannot always be cancelled after checkout.
eCheck online
The payment methods page states that eCheck payments have no convenience fee. Funds must be available for immediate withdrawal from a regular checking or savings account open to ACH transactions.
Card or mobile wallet
Credit card, debit card or mobile wallet payments have a non-refundable convenience fee. Commercial or international cards can have a higher fee.
Pay by mail
Mail checks, cashier’s checks, money orders or certified funds to Dariel Fernandez, Tax Collector, Miami-Dade County, 200 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33128. Do not mail cash.
No cancel after checkout
The Tax Collector states the office does not have access to cancel or modify online payment transactions after checkout. Verify items before submitting.
Technical payment help
If you have an online payment technical problem, the Tax Collector page points users to Grant Street Group’s Help Desk at 877-818-4323.
Write folio on checks
For mailed payments, write your folio and phone number on your check. Discounts, when applicable, are determined by postmark date for mail payments.
Miami-Dade Property Tax Bills, Discounts, Delinquency and Certificate Sale
Miami-Dade property tax bills are generally mailed in November. Taxes become delinquent April 1, when interest and fees are added. The Tax Collector’s official real estate tax page should be checked each year for exact current-year deadlines.
August TRIM notice
The Property Appraiser mails TRIM notices in August. This is not the tax bill. It is the time to review value, exemptions and proposed taxes.
November tax bills
Property tax bills are typically mailed in November. Payments are handled through the Tax Collector, not the Property Appraiser.
Discount period
Florida property tax bills commonly include early-payment discounts. Confirm the official bill or Tax Collector page for the correct discount deadline.
April 1 delinquency
The Tax Collector page states that taxes become delinquent April 1, and interest and fees are added at that time.
May 31 online payment cutoff
The official page for 2025 taxes states online payments may be made through May 31, 2026, before the tax certificate sale process begins for unpaid taxes.
June 1 tax certificate sale
The official 2025 tax notice page states the annual tax certificate sale begins June 1, 2026. Always verify the current year on the official Tax Collector site.
Miami-Dade Delinquent Property Taxes and Tax Certificate Sale Warning
If Miami-Dade real estate taxes are not paid before delinquency and certificate-sale deadlines, a tax certificate may be issued. This can eventually create serious risk for the property if ignored.
Do not wait until tax certificate sale season to fix a payment problem. If the bill is unpaid, if a payment failed, if your mortgage company was supposed to pay, or if your folio is showing the wrong balance, contact the Tax Collector quickly and keep written proof of your payment or communication.
Search the tax account
Confirm the folio, tax year, delinquent amount, interest, fees and any certificate-sale language before paying or calling.
Call the Tax Collector if status is unclear
Ask whether the account is still eligible for standard online payment, whether a certificate has been issued, and what exact amount is required.
Save proof of payment and posting
Keep the confirmation number, receipt, bank proof and folio details. After paying, recheck the account for posting status.
Important homeowner warning
A mortgage escrow problem, misdirected bill, or online payment issue does not automatically stop delinquency. If the county record shows unpaid, act immediately and document every step.
