The second half is due on or before June 15th. For property owners who wish to pay their bill in full, the payment must be made by the last day of April.  Interest accrues at 1% per month.

Property Taxes become delinquent on March 1st, May 1st, or June 16th depending on payment type, of the year they are due. For payments received after the due date, interest must be included (1% per month) in the amount submitted for payment.
