Property Tax Due Dates:

Spring Installment due May 12th, 2025

Fall Installment due November 10th, 2025

Payments:

* The Treasurer’s Office accepts payments at any time. Estimated & pre-payments are accepted.

* The tax bill/statement is made up of three coupons. There is a Spring Installment Remittance Coupon, a Fall Installment Remittance Coupon, and a Taxpayer's Copy (Summary). The Treasurer will keep the Spring & Fall Installment Coupons upon payment and provide the Taxpayer with a system-generated receipt.

* It is extremely important for property owners/payers to bring the original tax bill/statement when paying at the Treasurer’s Office.  If mailing payment, include the corresponding coupons with the check or money order in the envelope.

* Property searches by Treasurer Office Staff are not a guaranteed method of finding all properties for a given taxpayer. The Taxpayer should have ALL property identifiers and/or coupons. A search under an address will produce a single property and not produce side lots or agricultural/vacant land. The Treasurer's Office Staff will communicate what the Tax Billing Tab shows. Reconstruction liens are not included in the Tax Billing Tab and must be specifically requested by the person making the inquiry. A tax ID # must be given by the person making the request for any property with a Reconstruction lien. The Treasurer's Office does not do Title Searches and Research. A licensed Title Company must be hired for this type of research.

Receipts for Payment:

If mailing in payment: Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if a receipt is desired. If a self-addressed stamped envelope is not provided, the property payer’s canceled check will be proof of payment/receipt.
