- I didn't receive a Tax Bill or I lost my Tax Bill?
Contact us via e-mail, postal mail service, by fax, or by telephone for a replacement Tax Bill. Keep in mind failure to receive notice neither excuses nor exonerates you from paying your Tax obligation. Late payments will likely expose your Account to additional charges.
- I received a Tax Bill, but I no longer live in this district. Why do I have to pay?
The Per Capita and/or Occupation Taxes are not calculated on a prorated basis. However, if you were assessed and billed by the same type Taxing Body in multiple districts for the same Tax year you are only liable to pay these Taxes once. To prevent any potential complications you should notify and provide proof of payment to the Tax Collector in the district that has you double assessed.
- I just paid my Per Capita and/or Occupation Tax Bill. Why are you billing me?
Depending on the district where you live Per Capita and/or Occupation Taxes can be billed by three different Taxing Bodies. There can be County, Municipal, and/or School District assessed Taxes.
- I just refinanced or sold my home and was told all Taxes are paid?
The Per Capita and/or Occupation Taxes are personal Taxes. The Taxes that are paid for a Home Refinance, a Real Estate Sale, by your Mortgage Company, etc are Taxes on real property.
- What Taxes do I pay that come out of my paycheck?
On a regular basis there are many Taxes that are automatically deducted from your wages. These deductions may include Taxes with names such as: Local Earned Income Tax, Local Wage Tax, Occupational Privilege Tax, EMS Tax, and LST. None of these Taxes are to be confused with the Per Capita Tax or the Occupation Tax.
