By what date must the county establish the tax collection schedule?

The county must establish the tax collection schedule by June 1st to ensure that all parties involved—taxpayers, school districts, and municipal entities—are adequately informed and prepared for the collection process. This deadline allows sufficient time for the coordination and communication necessary for effective tax collection, ensuring that taxpayers are aware of when to remit their payments. Setting this date ahead of the collection period is crucial, as it helps in planning for budgetary needs and revenue expectations throughout the tax year. The establishment of the tax collection schedule by this date aligns with the regulations and operational needs of the local government and its departments involved in tax assessment and collection.
