Allen County Treasurer Krista Bohn is reminding residents to pay their second-half property taxes by the new deadline of August 12th due to House Bill 186. Property owners can pay in person, online or by mail, but officials stress mailed payments should be postmarked by the due date to avoid potential issues.
Allen County's second-half property tax bills have been delayed as officials implement changes required under House Bill 186 and the new Inflation Cap Credit. The payment deadline has been extended to Aug. 12 for this year, with tax bills expected to be mailed in mid-July.
The Allen County Treasurer wants to remind property owners that taxes are due next week.
“If you don't pay by that point, it's going to roll forward into the next year, and that's when you start getting interest charged on those delinquent charges,” Bohn said. “However, once you're about 18 months delinquent and you have been posted in the newspaper, which also happens after we do that delinquent billing cycle, then you are eligible for foreclosure.”
Allen County Treasurer, Krista Bohn, would like to remind Allen County property owners that Friday, July 11th is the due date for 2nd Half Real Estate and Mobile Home tax payments.
First-half taxes must be paid by the deadline to avoid a 10% penalty. The Allen County Treasurer’s Office encourages residents to use its online tax portal to access important information about their property. The portal lists previous years’ tax amounts, payment status from lenders, and more.
Allen Co. Treasurer Krista Bohn wants to remind residents that Real Estate and Mobile Home tax payments are due on February 14th.
The county treasurer says that as of Wednesday they had about 50-percent payment of taxes due. The last few days are always a busy time for people paying their taxes and they usually get around 90% of the taxes due paid on time. If you are finding it difficult to pay your taxes in full pay a portion and contact their office to make arrangements on the remainder.
July 9th is the deadline for real estate and mobile home tax payments. The treasurer’s office has made it easy to pay your taxes with options such as online, over the phone, or even at any Allen County branch of Superior Credit Union or Union bank locations. The key thing is to get your payment in and if you may have an issue with payment call their office to make arrangements.
