State Marshals are used to enforce collections.

Health permits will not be renewed to any business with outstanding taxes.

Motor Vehicle Taxes

Per state statue, delinquent Motor Vehicle (MV) taxes are reported to the DMV. In order to be released with the DMV, all taxes, interest, and fees must be paid in full. Delinquent MV / Supplemental MV taxes must be paid by Cash, Money Order, Cashier's Check, or Online using a credit card if a release is needed to register your vehicle at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

If paying in person at the tax counter with cash, cashier's check or money order, payment must be received by 4:00 PM to be included in the overnight release file to the DMV.  If paying by credit card (online is the only option) the release will be issued within 3 business days.
