Scott Lunsford, Escambia County Tax Collector, reminds everyone that the two percent discount on payment of real estate and tangible personal property taxes ends Wednesday, January 31.
To receive the two percent discount, payments must be:
- mailed with a January postmark;
- left by midnight, CST, January 31, in a 24-hour drop box available at all locations; or
- made online by midnight, CST, January 31, at EscambiaTaxCollector.com.
Citizens are encouraged to pay taxes online; however, other options are available, such as payment by phone, by mail or in person at any of the four convenient tax collector offices.
Customers now can get in line online with QLess, a more convenient way to join the line. QLess lets customers join the line from anywhere and manage their time as they see fit. Once you pick your office location and type of service, you will receive a message with your approximate service time; you then can continue your regular activities until your service time approaches. You will receive status updates, be able to request additional time, if necessary, or cancel your spot if unable to make it. This system eliminates the need for sitting in crowded lobbies for your number to be called.
Customers can join the line online at EscambiaTaxCollector.com or download the QLess app (available on iTunes and Google Play).
