Installment Contracts

What is an installment contract?

If a taxpayer in foreclosure enters into an installment contract, they agree to make a down payment and then additional monthly installments until the amount in Judgment is paid off.
Contracts are offered for real property accounts only. There is no installment contract option for personal property delinquencies.
Interest and penalties continue to accrue during the duration of the installment contract.

Taxpayers may qualify for an installment contract IF

Their real property taxes are delinquent and the County has filed a Petition against the property.
They have not defaulted on a County installment contract in the past two years.

Installment Contracts

Jackson County Collection offers installment contracts to qualifying taxpayers set for the tax sale.
These installment contracts require a down payment of either 30% or 10% depending on the type of property, and payment of eleven monthly installment payments beginning the month after the initiation of the contract.
Interest penalties and fees continue to accrue.

Defaults

If a taxpayer misses any payments from January-May, they will be added into the Sale in August.
