Tax statements are mailed in November or early December. If you do not receive your statements by mid-December, please contact our office immediately. Please verify that you have received all of your statements and that everything is correct.

Taxes must be paid in full or half by December 31. If you choose to pay half, you must pay the first half by December 31 and the second half if due by March 31. We do not mail second half statements. Statements that are $25 or less must be paid in full. If your taxes are not paid by December 31, penalty accrues at 1-1/2 percent per month until taxes are paid. Penalty on second half starts in April and accrues at 1-1/2 percent per month until taxes are paid in full.

The County Treasurer must hold a tax resale to sell any real estate for which the county has a held a tax lien for three full years. A tax resale involves the outright purchase of property on which taxes are delinquent for a period of 3 years and a deed is issued to the highest bidder for cash for the property.
The tax resale is held each year on the second Monday of June in the County Treasurer’s office between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. This property is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Bid begins with the amount of all delinquent taxes, penalties, fees and costs.
In the event no purchase is made, the remainder property is deeded to the County.
