FiPAC recommends July 1 billing for real estate and personal property; June 16 deadline noted
Summary
FiPAC recommended sending personal property and real estate tax bills effective July 1, 2026 and clarified billing deadlines — tax collector said June 16 is the deadline to get bills out for July; motor vehicle bills would be mailed in August if the budget passes.
Finance Director Beverly Ciurylo and Tax Collector Janice Clauson told the commission that FiPAC's preferred approach is to send tax bills for real estate and personal property with a July 1 due date while holding the mill rate at the prior year's level for now and reconciling if needed on the second bill in January.
Tax Collector Janice Clauson explained operational timing and said "the deadline to get bills out for July will be June 16, 2026." She clarified that the June 16 deadline applies to real estate and personal property bills; motor vehicle tax bills would be mailed in August if the budget is approved and processed for that cycle. FiPAC discussed using undesignated funds temporarily in the event a July bill is not issued and reached consensus to recommend "Option 1" — sending personal property and real estate bills as of July 1, 2026.
