Ross County Treasurer Steve Neal, Jr. announced that the first half property tax bills are being mailed this week and tax payers should start to see them in their mail boxes. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the State was behind in getting the tax rates to the county. Because of the delay in getting the bills out, Treasurer Neal has extended the Tax due date to February 26, 2021. If there are any questions the treasurer’s office would be happy to answer them for you.
Taxpayers who receive a separate manufactured home statement should expect to receive their bill about a week later. Manufactured home tax payments are due March 1st.
Neal encourages tax payers to utilize the office's drop boxes and online payment options as opposed to coming into the office to help keep everyone safe. If it is necessary to come into the office Masks are required and we ask that you follow all the social distancing guidelines. There are masks available at the door of the courthouse as well as hand sanitizer to be used upon entry.
There are many programs that the treasurer’s office offers to make it easier on taxpayers to pay their taxes. The blue insert included with the bill describes the programs and how to sign up for them. Information on the programs and how to sign up is also located on the treasurer’s website.
The treasurer’s office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday except holidays. The office will also be open until 6:00 p.m. the final week of the real estate tax collection, February 22nd through February 26th. The treasurer’s office is located in the Ross County Courthouse. There is also a night drop slot available in the front door of the Treasurer’s office as well as a drive up drop box located in the service center parking lot, 475 Western Ave. All payments deposited before midnight on the due date will be considered timely. E-check or credit card payments made through the treasurer’s website before midnight will also be on time
