Online Payment Processing FeesProperty owners who pay online should note the third-party processing fees charged by vendor ProPay:

Missing Notices & InquiriesProperty owners who do not receive a tax notice in the mail are urged to contact the Revenue Commission directly at 251-937-0245. Tax information can also be looked up online via the Revenue Commission portal.
To potentially reduce property tax burdens, owners can explore several relief options. Property owners may file an appeal with the local board of equalization if they believe their property’s assessed value exceeds fair market value based on recent local sales. Additionally, homeowners should verify their eligibility for statutory exemptions, such as homestead exemptions, senior citizen deductions, or exemptions for disabled veterans, which can lower their taxable property assessment.
