Halifax County says the Tax Collector is responsible for timely collection and disposition of property taxes, including taxes on real property, personal property, certain solid waste fees, gross receipts, and alcoholic beverage licenses. The county accepts partial, full, and pre-payments during the year. Online e-check, credit-card, and debit-card payments are available through the county payment portal and all electronic payments are subject to processing fees. A county relocation notice says the Tax Collector's Office moved to 3 South King Street while the Tax Assessor remains at 357 Ferrell Lane.
