JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – 2024 Duval County tax notices will be mailed Thursday, and property owners can expect their bills in their mailboxes in the coming days, according to Duval County Tax Collector Jim Overton.

Officials said in-person payments to the county’s nine tax collector branches are expected to get crowded once property owners receive their tax bills.

While long wait times aren’t ideal, there are other ways to avoid lines this tax season.

“Online payments are the fastest, easiest and most efficient way for customers to pay their tax bills,” Overton said.

This year’s tax bills are already open on the website www.duvaltc.com and now they accept payment.

“Customers who need to pay in person Join Evenfeature on www.duvaltc.comThis allows them to add themselves to a virtual online queue and reserve their place in line before arriving at the branch. “Once in the queue, the customer will receive updates about their place in the queue via text message and will be notified when to come into the branch for service,” Overton said.

For those paying online or in person, credit card payments will incur a 2.5 percent surcharge from the credit card company, or a minimum of $2.50.

Customers who plan to pay by check must write their 10-digit account number on their check. Do not staple or paperclip the check to the pay stub; This will prevent payment from being processed properly and delay your receipt. Checks should be made payable to the Duval County Tax Collector and mailed to PO Box 44009, Jacksonville, FL 32231-4009.
