Online Payment Alert

Please be aware that online Bill Payments made  through your own bank take longer to receive and process. They are submitted  by your bank via paper check not electronically. This may affect your discount or cause your account to be delinquent. We offer FREE echecks on our website at https://martintaxcollector.com/

Searching

You can use the search page to search for tax bills, accounts, properties, etc. You can also search using the search box near the upper-right corner of most pages on this site. To search for a bill, account or property, type any relevant terms into the search box, and click the “Search” button. Here are just a few examples of possible searches:

  • Full name. E.g.: John Smith; Smith John; Smith, John; etc.
  • Last name. E.g.: Smith; Jones
  • Street address. E.g.: 123 Main; 54 Ocean View; Fourteenth
  • Last and street names. E.g.: Smith Ocean View; Main Jones
  • Account number. You will find this on your tax bill.
  • Exact matches. Use quotation marks, e.g.: “Ocean View”; “123 Main”; “John Smith”

Searching Tips

If you don’t know what you’re looking for, the following tips might help you:

  • Make sure you spell names, streets, etc., correctly.
  • Try leaving off words like drive, road, avenue, etc., that are often abbreviated.
  • Try other owners’ names; some properties are in one spouse’s name, and some are in both names.
  • Watch out for terms that have multiple spellings.
  • If you used quotation marks, try again without them: “John Smith” won’t find properties owned by “Smith, John,” but simply typing John Smith will find both.
  • Remove special characters, such as ()|\”

For Example:

Search for “123 Main” instead of “123 Main Street.” Differentiate between multiple spellings like First Street and 1st St.
