A payment plan is a voluntary agreement between a taxpayer and a local government under which the local government promises not to pursue enforced collections against the taxpayer for delinquent taxes so long as the taxpayer pays a certain amount each month toward those taxes.  Local governments have no obligation to offer payment plans to taxpayers.  In fact, you won’t find any mention of payment plans in the Machinery Act, that portion of the General Statutes that govern local property taxes.
