Can Sebastian property taxes be paid in installments?
A taxpayer whose estimated next-year property-tax bill is more than $100 may qualify for the statutory quarterly installment plan. The plan divides eligible real-estate or tangible-personal-property taxes into four scheduled payments rather than one annual payment.
Payments are scheduled for June, September, December and March.
The June payment must be made to remain in the installment program.
