|---|---|---|

| Delinquent taxes | Real estate taxes become delinquent first business day in January after the year due. | Penalty rate increases and interest begins on unpaid tax, penalty and fees. |
| Tax judgment | County starts delinquent tax proceedings against first-year delinquent properties. | A tax judgment starts the clock toward forfeiture. |
| Redemption period | Generally, owners have three years to pay all delinquent taxes and avoid forfeiture. | Partial payments are accepted and applied by statutory order. |
| Expiration / forfeiture | After three full years, formal notice is given; full payment or Confession of Judgment may stop forfeiture. | Do not wait until the final notice to ask for help. |
