Tax bills were mailed at the end of September and are sent directly to the property owner of record as of January 1, 2019. If taxes are paid through an escrow account, you should forward a copy of the bill to your mortgage company. Taxes levied by the City and the Newport Board of Education are included in the bills.
Delinquent bills will be assessed a penalty of 10% and interest accrues at 0.5% per month.
