It's that time of year again! Property tax deadlines are nearing. While deferral options are available in some communities due to COVID-19, most rural property tax due dates have not changed. Property taxes are due July 2, 2020.
Paying your property taxes could look a little different this year. Some of the branches in your area might be temporarily closed or have limited hours. And, some municipalities may have offices that are by appointment only or completely closed. The easiest and fastest way to pay your property taxes this year is with online or mobile banking.
As your property tax notice reaches your mailbox, here's a reminder of all convenient ways you can pay your bill without needing to visit a physical location.
