Why does my property tax bill say “Do Not Pay”?

If you have a mortgage on your property, the property taxes are typically paid by your mortgage bank out of your accumulated escrow account. When that’s the case, you will get a duplicate bill for your records that says “Do Not Pay.” For more information about your property taxes, you can contact the Volusia County Property Appraiser at 386-736-5901.

What is the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Program?

The Owner Occupied Rehabilitation is a program implemented by the City of Deltona to assist eligible homeowners with necessary code, health, and safety repairs. The program is implemented by the City through federal and state grants. Applicants can receive up to $30,000 for needed repairs.   The assistance is in the form of a 15-year non-interest bearing mortgage equal to the amount of assistance awarded.   To qualify for this program the applicant must meet income and other program requirements.

Will I be required to pay this loan back from the Owner Occupied Home Repair program?

The City of Deltona will place a 15-year non-interest bearing mortgage on the property. If the house is sold, transferred, rented, or if the homeowner(s) obtain additional liens on the property within the 15-year life of the mortgage, you will have to pay the money back. Additional default scenarios will be provided to you prior to application approval. If you remain in your home for 15 years the mortgage will be forgiven in full.
