There is a 2.75% convenience charge added to the total amount due to pay with a credit/debit card. Credit/debit card limit is $11,000.00 and no more than 10 transactions at one time. If an email address is provided you will receive a receipt.

You can pay online with a personal or business check and will be charged a flat fee of $1.00. Echeck limit is $5,000.00 and no more than 10 transactions at one time. If an email address is provided you will receive a receipt.

5. I paid my taxes in person after the due date and my check has not cleared the bank. Why?

Due to the fact that our office honors the postmark, we have to post those payments mailed on the due date before any late payment can be processed. Payment made in person or postmarked after the due date will not be posted until the payments received/paid on time are posted to the allotted parcel(s). Once this process is settled, (which takes us about a week to complete after the due date), we then post the past due payments in the order of the date that they were received.

6. I mailed my payment before the due date and my check has not cleared the bank. Why?

If you mailed your check before or on the due date and your check has not cleared your account in a timely manner, it could have been lost in the mail. It is very important that you verify with your bank that the payment mailed to us has cleared your account! We do not honor the check date as the payment date, we only honor the the postmark date as the payment date.

7. What if I did not receive a tax bill as of yet?

Every effort is made to see that you receive your tax bills.  Tax bills are mailed to the last known mailing address provided to the Treasurer the last week in  January and June. If you do not receive your bill by the middle of February or the middle of July, it is your responsibility to contact our office at 740-373-6623 opt 3 opt 2. Also, a notice will appear in the local paper prior to the due date. Therefore, if you have moved, if your mortgage is paid in full or if your mortgage is sold to another mortgage company, it is the property owner's responsibility under the Ohio Revised Code to contact the Treasurer’s office to advise them of the change in your mailing address to ensure you receive your tax bill.  

Even if you did not receive your bill, Section 323.13 of the Ohio Revised Code states that the property owner is responsible for payments (plus any penalties and interest). Failure to receive a bill does not excuse you from paying any penalties or interest. Please contact us if you did not receive your bill or if you have any indication that your tax bill may have been misdirected.
