Though payments of less than the recommended amount are allowed, the prior year balance must be fully paid before the fifth year of default to avoid the Power of Sale. Unlike the Annual Payment Plan, the Monthly Payment Plan WILL NOT protect the parcel from the recording of the Power of Sale. Please note that the monthly payment plan is for payment of the prior year balance only. Current year taxes must be paid separately to avoid additional penalties.
