The 2024 Pinellas Property Tax Season is Open

PINELLAS COUNTY, FL – Starting November 1, Pinellas property tax payments will be accepted online at pinellastaxcollector.gov, through the mail, or in-person at any Pinellas tax collector office. As tax season is the busiest time of year for tax collector offices, customers are strongly encouraged to save time and pay online, which is not only secure and easy, but also convenient as it allows customers to make payments at any time, from anywhere. Online payments made by credit or debit card will incur an additional fee of 2.95% with a $2.50 minimum per the vendor, 3.95% for international credit cards, or customers can use the eCheck option for a $1.50 fee.

Property taxes must be paid before March 31, 2025 before penalties apply. However, property owners can save by paying early. Customers who pay in November receive a 4% discount. The discount drops to 3% for December payments, 2% for payments made in January, and 1% for February. Property taxes remaining unpaid as of April 1, 2025, are considered delinquent.

“Vital services provided by the County and cities within Pinellas are funded through the collection of property taxes – library services, fire rescue, parks, and much more. We try to make things as simple as possible for customers to pay by offering various payment options,” said Pinellas Tax Collector, Charles W. Thomas. “And we encourage property owners to pay early and save – November offers the biggest discount of 4%. I encourage everyone to visit our website for more info about payment options.”

The 2024 tax roll consists of 493,334 accounts, totaling more than $2.57 billion. The Tax Collector does not assess nor determine property tax rates. Customers with questions or issues about their property tax amounts should reach out to the Property Appraiser’s Office. Tax collector offices are responsible for collecting and distributing property taxes to all 56 local taxing authorities, including the School Board, Board of County Commissioners, cities, libraries, and more. Taxing authorities then use these tax dollars to fund their budgets to provide vital services and programs right here in Pinellas.
