Escambia County Tax Collector Tim Pettis said his office has received more than $18 million in property taxes since Oct. 1.

Pettis said in an email that he received an abstract from Tax Assessor Thad Moore that totaled $18,097,460.69.

“We will send out a second notice in January with an amount that is good through Feb. 28,” Pettis said. “In March we will establish our Tax Lien Sale list.
