Payment Arrangements
Payment Plan
A Payment Plan may be arranged for delinquent taxes. Upon approval, the Payment Plan allows a taxpayer to make regularly scheduled payments toward delinquent taxes. A Payment Plan may reduce the risk of losing the property in a tax sale, as long as the plan agreement is upheld by the taxpayer. All other collection activity, such as lawsuit fees and interest/penalty, will continue until taxes are paid in full.
Do I Qualify?
In order to qualify for a Written Payment Plan to repay delinquent taxes, the following conditions must be met:
- The property must be scheduled for a current tax sale.
- All delinquent years owed on a parcel must be included in the plan.
- Monthly payment amounts will be set by the Trustee’s office based on remaining taxes due after the down payment and the plan may not exceed a 24-month period.
- Monthly payments are due on or before the 20th of every month.
- Participation in a financial workshop held by the Shelby County Trustee is highly recommended prior to the execution of the agreement. See current schedule of Financial Workshops on website calendar.
