Beaufort County to Offer Installment Plan for Real Estate Taxes

Having a tough time paying those large property tax bills all at once? Beaufort County has initiated a relief program to help residential and commercial property owners. The program allows property owners to divide their 2008 real property taxes into 5 separate installments. Applications for the program were mailed along with tax notices last month. An online version of the installment application can be found on the Beaufort County Website. Owners must apply for the program to see if they are eligible
Be aware that the installment program is available only for real property (residential or commercial property) taxes. The plan cannot be used for such things as cars, trucks, motorcycles, or boats used as a primary residence. Applications must be submitted between Dec 1st and Jan 15th.
The program divides your 2008 taxes into 5 individual payments which will be due on Feb. 15th, April 15th, August 15th, and Oct. 15th of 2009. A bonus of this program is that the payments are interest free.
