What changed
Hillsborough County property owners can start paying 2026 property and tangible property taxes now, and the biggest early-payment discount is available this month. The tax collector says the roll opened Nov. 1 and includes nearly 515,000 notices, with payments due in full by March 31, 2027. The discount drops each month, from 4% in November to 1% in February.
The office also says not getting a bill does not erase the tax obligation. If taxes remain unpaid, they become delinquent April 1, when 3% interest and advertising costs are added.
Residents who want to pay online can use eCheck without a payment fee. Credit and debit cards are also accepted, but the payment center says a convenience fee applies.
