Tax bills will be mailed the beginning of July and are due July 31, 2011.  If you are responsible for the payment, rather than a mortgage company, and have not received your bill by July 14^th, please contact the City Treasurer for a copy of the bill.  The City of Pleasant Ridge allows the summer bills to be paid one of two ways.  You may pay your bill in one lump sum or you may pay in eight installments.  Payment must be made in full or the first installment payment must be paid by July 31, 2011.

You will be receiving payment coupons that reflect each payment amount, which must be returned with your payment, If you wish to take advantage of the installment option. The date each payment is due is as follows:

 

Installment 1        July 31, 2011

If you make payments thorough your bank, be sure to schedule your payment at least five days before the payment is due.  Interest penalties on any late payment are charged at a rate of 1% per month retroactive to July 31^st.  Bank envelopes do not include a postmark, and will be considered paid on the date the payment was received.

PLEASE NOTE: If payment is postmarked on the due date, it is deemed as paid on the due date.  However, if the City Hall drop box is used, the payment must be received prior to midnight.  If it is received after that time, it is considered late and an interest penalty will be assessed. 

Checks are accepted as conditional payment and if they are returned unpaid by your financial institution, the payment is deemed unpaid and an interest penalty will be assessed.  In addition to this penalty, an administrative fee of $30.00 will be charged for the returned check.
