PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla.—Pinellas County property owners will be getting a special delivery this Halloween: their 2025 property tax bills. The Pinellas County Tax Collector’s Office announced that paper bills will be mailed on Friday, October 31. Customers who have opted for eBills will receive them via email on Saturday, November 1.
Payment processing begins on November 1 online at pinellas.county-taxes.com. In-person payments will be accepted starting November 3 at all Pinellas tax collector offices during regular business hours, with no appointment necessary.
The Tax Collector’s Office strongly encourages property owners to pay online due to it being the busiest time of year. Online payments made by eCheck incur no additional fees, while credit and debit card payments have a 2.95% vendor fee (minimum $2.50), and international credit cards have a 3.95% fee.
Property owners can take advantage of significant discounts for early payment:
- November: 4% discount
- December: 3% discount
- January: 2% discount
- February: 1% discount
“I encourage property owners to save time and pay online this year and, if you can, pay in November to get the largest discount on your property taxes,” said Pinellas County Tax Collector Adam Ross. Unpaid 2025 property taxes will be considered delinquent as of April 2026.
The tax collector’s main role is to efficiently collect these funds—totaling more than $2.6 billion from 436,708 accounts for the 2025 tax roll—and distribute them to all 56 local taxing authorities. These authorities, which include the School Board, Board of County Commissioners, cities, and libraries, rely on these taxes to fund essential services such as emergency response, schools, and parks.
Ross emphasized the importance of timely collection so taxing authorities can provide these vital services.
The Tax Collector’s Office is responsible for collection and distribution only; questions about property tax amounts or assessments should be directed to the Property Appraiser’s Office.
