If you stop payment on the check you will likely incur a charge from your bank AND a charge for a returned check by the tax collector. It is totally not necessary and will cause extra work for everyone involved. Trust me we had thousands and thousands of people who paid the wrong discount period in the county I worked in. You don't have anything to worry about.
