Real estate and tangible personal property tax bills for 2014 are being mailed out today.

If you pay before November 30, you'll receive a 4 percent discount. After November, payments made by the following dates - or postmarked if sent through the mail - receive the following discounts: December 31, 3 percent; January 31, 2 percent; and February 28, 1 percent.

All payments must be made by the end of March.

Taxpayers can pay online with an electronic check for no charge.

Credit and debit cards are also accepted online, but there is a 2.95 percent convenience fee charged by the tax collector's online credit/debit card payment processor.

Payments can also be made through the mail, in person at any Pinellas County Tax Collector office, or through one of the drop boxes outside the offices.
