Must I pay my taxes if I'm expecting to get an exemption?
Yes. Filing an exemption application does not stay the payment of your taxes. Failure to pay taxes may subject you to interest charges and collection action. You should pay the tax bill. If an exemption is granted and you have already paid the entire year's tax as exempted, you will receive a refund of any overpayment.
