DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE
CHOOSE ONE of the following to avoid interest charges and receive any applicable discount:
FULL PAYMENT: Pay the "in full" amount by November 15th, to receive the 3 percent discount.
2/3 PAYMENT: Pay the "two thirds" amount by November 15th, to receive the 2 percent discount.
1/3 PAYMENT: Pay the "one third" amount by November 15th. No discount applicable.
Tax of less than $40 cannot be paid in installments and must be paid in full November 15th. If not paid, the total amount will be considered delinquent as of November 16th and will accrue interest on the total tax levied.
Payments must be delivered, postmarked or transmitted by private express carrier on or before the due date to receive any discount available and avoid interest.
According to Oregon law, if the postmark is after November 15th, discounts are not allowed and interest will accrue on the past due portion.
If the 15th falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date is extended through the next business day and will be noted on your tax statement.
