The Lee County Tax Collector’s Office has officially announced the mailing of 541,741 tax bills to property and business owners on October 31. For those who opted for electronic billing, email notices were delivered on November 1.
These tax bills are based on property values assessed as of January 1, in compliance with Florida law.
New Payment Options for 2024
To enhance customer convenience, the Lee County Tax Collector’s Office has introduced two new payment options this year:
- Tax Payment Kiosks:
Located at all service centers, these kiosks allow customers to quickly pay their bills using a credit card or eCheck. Receipts can be printed on the spot, saving time and avoiding long wait lines. - Secure 24/7 Drop Boxes:
Drop boxes are now available at the Downtown and South Fort Myers offices for round-the-clock convenience. Simply drop off your payment and allow up to five business days for processing. Receipts can be printed online at LeeTC.com/print-your-property-tax-receipt.
“Our mission is to deliver five-star service to our customers,” said Lee County Tax Collector Noelle Branning. “These new resources not only save property owners time but also provide peace of mind with secure payment options.”
Additional Payment Methods
In addition to these new features, taxpayers can continue to pay:
- Online at LeeTC.com/pay-online
- By mail
- Over the phone
Early Payment Discounts
Taxpayers are encouraged to take advantage of early payment discounts:
- 4% discount in November
- 3% discount in December
- 2% discount in January
- 1% discount in February
Tax payments are due no later than March 31, 2025.
Projected Impact of Tax Collections
This year, tax collections are expected to exceed $2.4 billion before discounts. These funds will be distributed among Lee County’s Levying Authorities to support critical services, including:
- Fire rescue
- Law enforcement
- Infrastructure maintenance (schools, roads, parks, and utilities)
The Lee County Tax Collector’s Office continues to prioritize accessibility and efficiency in tax collection, ensuring essential community services receive the funding they need.
