My tax bill shows "back taxes due" and I am being charged interest and other fees. What does that mean?

This note means that, according to our records, there are past due taxes in your name, or on the parcel of property in question. Please contact us with questions.

Delinquent taxes and interest must be paid in full before payment on current bills can be accepted. Any payment you send in toward current taxes will be applied to outstanding back taxes.
