Real estate and tangible taxes
The Seminole County Tax Collector prints, mails, and collects tax payments after the Property Appraiser certifies the tax roll. Real estate property taxes combine taxable property value with services or infrastructure charges that may affect the property.
Tangible taxes apply to furniture, fixtures, and equipment used in businesses and rental properties, as well as structural additions on mobile homes. These bills are sent with real estate tax bills and follow the same discount schedule.
For the official tax office overview, use the Seminole County property and tangible taxes page.
Due dates and discounts
Current-year taxes are billed in November. Early-payment discounts are based on the month paid.
| Payment month | Discount |
|---|---|
| November | 4% |
| December | 3% |
| January | 2% |
| February | 1% |
| March | No discount |
Property and tangible taxes are due by March 31 of the following year. Unpaid taxes become delinquent on April 1 and must be paid in certified funds only.
Payment methods and fees
Seminole County Tax Collector offices accept cash, check, money order, cashier’s check, debit cards, and credit cards. Checks should be made payable to Seminole County Tax Collector.
| Payment type | Fee or note |

For mailed payments, use the Tax Collector mailing address listed in the contact section. FedEx and UPS payments use a separate street address.
Wire payments
Wire payments are available through the Seminole County Tax Collector Tax Account instructions. Before sending a wire, email the real estate parcel numbers, tangible personal property account numbers, or certificate and tax deed numbers with the payment amounts to Taxdepartment@seminolecounty.tax for reconciliation.
The wire instructions state that ACH is not accepted. International wire payments may arrive short because of intermediary bank fees, so the instructions advise adding $50.00 as a buffer, with any remaining overage refunded.
Review the official Tax Department wire payment instructions before sending a wire.
Non-ad valorem assessments
Some Seminole County property tax bills include non-ad valorem assessments. These are charges for localized public services that are collected through the annual property tax bill.
Examples include services such as solid waste, street lighting, lake management, or construction improvement projects. Assessments are administered through the Municipal Services Benefit Unit Program and may be eligible for standard early-payment discounts when billed on the property tax bill.
Property owners can review more detail through the county’s non-ad valorem assessment information.
