Payment methods and fees
The Miami-Dade County Office of the Tax Collector accepts online, mail, and in-person payments for real estate taxes. Payments must be made in U.S. funds from a U.S. bank, and taxes are not treated as paid until the bank approves the funds.
For details on accepted payment types and current fee rules, use the county’s payment methods page.
| Payment method | What is accepted | Fee details |
|---|---|---|
| Online | eCheck, credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet | eCheck has no convenience fee. Credit, debit, and mobile wallet payments have a 2.50% convenience fee with a $2.50 minimum. Commercial or international cards have a 3.95% fee with a $2.50 minimum. |
| Check, cashier’s check, money order, or certified funds | No card convenience fee applies by mail. Do not mail cash. Discounts are based on the postmark date. | |

Deadlines, discounts, and delinquent taxes
Real estate property taxes are payable on November 1 each year and can be paid through March 31 of the following year without penalty. Taxes become delinquent on April 1, when interest, advertising costs, and fees are added.
The Miami-Dade County Tax Collector mailed the 2025 annual tax notices on October 31, 2025. Online payment for 2025 taxes is available through May 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. If 2025 real estate taxes are not paid before June 1, 2026, a tax certificate may be issued, and the annual tax certificate sale begins on June 1, 2026.
The county’s early payment discount page explains how discount timing works.
| Payment timing | Discount |
|---|---|
| November | 4% |
| December | 3% |
| January | 2% |
| February | 1% |
| March | No discount |
If your bill includes a Water, Road, and Sewer assessment collected in annual installments, payment must be made by May 31 or a tax certificate can be sold for the remaining lien balance.
Delinquent taxes and payment limits
Delinquent real estate taxes for 2025 and prior years are handled under a separate process. The tax certificate represents a lien for unpaid real estate taxes, non-ad valorem assessments, interest, advertising costs, and fees.
You can review the county’s delinquent tax information for payment rules and timing.
- For delinquent taxes paid by mail, the office accepts cashier’s checks, money orders, or certified funds.
- Postmarks are not honored for delinquent tax payments.
- Online delinquent tax payments by card or mobile wallet carry the listed convenience fees.
- The purchase of a tax certificate does not transfer ownership of the property to the investor.
Installment plans, partial payments, and deferral
Miami-Dade County offers several ways to manage property tax payments, but the rules differ by program.
Partial Payment Plan
The county is no longer accepting 2025 partial payment applications. Partial payments for 2026 taxes are accepted from November 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. Once you enter the plan by making the first payment, you must continue for that tax year and you give up the early payment discounts. You cannot use this plan if your mortgage company pays from escrow, if you are on a quarterly installment plan, or if you filed a Value Adjustment Board petition.
More details are available on the Partial Payment Plan page.
2026 Quarterly Installment Payment Plan
Applications must be received by April 30, 2026. This plan is not for owners whose mortgage company pays the taxes. The first installment is due June 30, 2026, with a grace period through July 31, 2026 without the discount.
Use the 2026 Quarterly Installment Payment Plan page for deadlines, bill timing, and enrollment details.
Homestead Tax Deferral
The Homestead Tax Deferral program lets qualified owners defer part or all of their property taxes and non-ad valorem assessments. It is not an exemption, and delinquent taxes from 2025 and prior years cannot be deferred. The Tax Collector advises owners to contact the office in November 2026 to defer 2026 taxes.
You can review eligibility points on the Homestead Tax Deferral page.
Paperless billing and related property tax help
You can choose to receive your property tax bill by email instead of paper. Bills are sent from noreply@grantstreet.com, and accounts exempt from public disclosure are not eligible for this option.
The county’s email bill enrollment page explains how electronic billing works and notes that discount periods are not extended if an electronic or mailed notice is returned as undeliverable.
If you need help with assessed value, exemptions, or name and address changes, those issues are handled through the Property Appraiser side rather than the Tax Collector’s tax collection role. The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser property tax page explains that the Tax Collector may also have programs for deferral, quarterly installments, or partial payments.
