How often will I be required to make payments on the installment plan?

Under the installment plan you are required to make at least one payment each year for five years, in addition to paying each year's annual taxes. By April 10 of each year you must have paid a sum total of 20% or more of the plan, plus interest (which accrues at the rate of 1-1/2% per month on the unpaid balance once the plan).  If you do not pay the required amount of the plan or do not pay your current Secured Property or Supplemental Property taxes, if applicable, on or before April 10 of each year, then your installment plan will default.

You can, however, pay the total unpaid balance plus accrued interest any time before the fifth and final payment is due.
