What is Delinquent Tangible Property Tax Payment Agreement – Alachua County, FL?
The Delinquent Tangible Property Tax Payment Agreement is the Alachua County Tax Collector's form in which an owner agrees to pay delinquent personal property tax on a monthly basis, with a minimum payment due by the 1st day of each month until the account is paid in full.
The printed title on the form reads "Delinquent Personal Property Tax Installment Agreement" (Rev. 7/18). It has two parts: 1. Personal Property Owner Information and 2. Agreement Terms & Owner's Attestment, followed by a block marked "For Tax Collector Use Only."
By signing, the owner accepts the terms the form lists. Under Florida Statutes, the unpaid balance keeps accumulating interest while the plan runs. The owner agrees not to move, transfer, sell, dispose of or encumber the property without the express written consent of the Alachua County Tax Collector. The form warns that missing the agreed payments may end the agreement, after which the property is subject to levy, seizure and sale by the Tax Collector.
The form is for personal property accounts only. It does not cover real estate tax, and the form itself prints no separate instructions.
Who needs to file Delinquent Tangible Property Tax Payment Agreement – Alachua County, FL?
Owners of personal property who owe delinquent personal property tax to the Alachua County Tax Collector and want to pay it in monthly installments use this agreement. The declaration on the form states that the signer is the owner or an heir of the property referenced, and it is made under penalties of perjury.
Before applying, consider the commitments the form makes you accept. You must initial every term. You agree to pay at least the minimum amount by the 1st day of each month, to keep the property in place unless the Tax Collector consents in writing, and to file returns on time and pay current obligations while the plan runs. If you fail to do so, you are considered delinquent under the plan and the whole unpaid balance of tax, penalty or interest scheduled in the plan becomes due and payable immediately.
The form does not say that anyone else may sign on the owner's behalf, and it names no exclusions beyond the owner-or-heir declaration.
