Application for Partial Payments – Escambia County

The Application for Partial Payments is the Escambia County Tax Collector form with which a property owner asks to pay the current year's ad valorem tax and non-ad valorem assessments on a property in partial payments, as allowed by F.S. 197.374.

By signing, the owner confirms six terms printed on the form:

• The owner submits the application with the initial partial payment.
• Partial payments are accepted for current taxes only, from November 1 until March 31.
• No discount is allowed for partial payments.
• The owner is responsible for finding out the balance due.
• No additional tax bills are sent, except one reminder notice under F.S. 197.343.
• Any balance remaining as of April 1 is delinquent and subject to all applicable penalties and fees, and a tax certificate will be sold at a later date.

The form identifies the property by its Property Tax Account Number and Property Address, and collects the taxpayer's signature, address, city, ZIP code, daytime phone number and email address. The printed revision is Revised 10/2024. The form itself prints no form number.

The main group is property owners in Escambia County who want to pay their current-year ad valorem taxes and non-ad valorem assessments in partial payments instead of one payment. The form states that the property owner must submit the application with the initial partial payment.

Conditions the form attaches:

• It covers current taxes only, not earlier years.
• Payments fall in the window from November 1 until March 31.
• The owner accepts that no discount applies to partial payments.
• The owner accepts responsibility for finding out the balance due, since no additional bills are sent apart from one reminder notice under F.S. 197.343.

The form has a single signature line for the taxpayer and says nothing about representatives signing for the owner. If you are not the property owner, ask the Escambia County Tax Collector whether someone else may apply.

Submit the application together with your initial partial payment, between November 1 and March 31. The form says partial payments are accepted for current taxes only during that period.

Plan for the end date: any balance remaining as of April 1 is delinquent and subject to all applicable penalties and fees, and a tax certificate will be sold at a later date. No discount is allowed on partial payments, and the Tax Collector sends no additional bills beyond one reminder notice under F.S. 197.343, so track the remaining balance yourself. The form sets no other deadline and no processing time.

The form itself names no mailing address, portal or office; it requires the property owner to submit the completed application with the initial partial payment. Deliver both to the Escambia County Tax Collector, and confirm with that office the current ways to submit and pay, the accepted payment methods and the amount of your first payment, because the form states none of these.

Before you send it, check that the Property Tax Account Number and Property Address match your tax record, that the contact fields are complete and that you have signed. Keep a copy, since you are responsible for knowing the balance due until it is paid in full.
