EasyPay
Many
people find making a monthly payment is the most convenient way to pay their
property taxes – particularly if they have recently paid off a mortgage and are
used to paying monthly or simply find it easier and more budget friendly to pay
in small installments rather than a large lump sum. Easy Pay cannot be used to pay delinquent or
current taxes.
What is EasyPay
EasyPay is a free
and convenient service that allows residential and commercial property owners
to prepay future real estate tax bills in six monthly, two semi-annual
or one annual payment. There are two ways to participate and pay your
installments, either through Auto Pay or Pre-Payment Coupons.
Auto Pay Option
The auto pay option automatically deducts your installments from your bank account. To participate in the Auto Pay option, you will need to enroll either through our online application or by printing, completing and returning a paper application to the Treasurer’s office.
Installments:
Monthly:
Each half-year tax bill will be divided by 6 to estimate your monthly installment. Your final (6th) installment will total the remaining balance on your bill.
Installments are deducted on or about the 5th of every month.
Semi-Annual:
Each half-year tax bill will be auto deducted from your account in one installment. First half deduction will be on or around January 18, the second half will be deducted in July on or around the tax deadline due date (usually the 3rd week of July).
Annual:
The full year tax amount will be deducted from your account when the tax collection opens on or about January 1. You may elect to have the full year amount deducted from your account on the last business day of December by selecting that option on the enrollment form.
Things to Know:
- A separate form must be completed for each parcel you want to enroll in the program.
- To change the account information associated with your auto-deduction you must complete an ACCOUNT CHANGE AUTHORIZATION FORM. Return the completed form via email to TREASCOMMENT@cuyahogacounty.us or mail to:
Cuyahoga County Treasurer
2079 East 9th St.
Cleveland, OH 44115
The request must be received 10 business days prior to the next scheduled deduction.
Pre-Pay Coupon Option:
The pre-pay coupon option provides taxpayers with monthly payment coupons with the installment amount, due date, parcel number, and property address. You will also be provided a return envelope addressed to Cuyahoga County Treasurer.
Personal checks, cashier’s checks and money orders are accepted via mail and the drop box. Please do not send or drop cash. If you would like to pay with cash our offices are open 8:30AM to 4:30PM Monday - Friday.
To enroll in the Pre-Pay Coupon option, you will need to visit or call Taxpayer Services at 216-443-7400, there is no online option for enrollment.
Things to Know:
- Pre-Pay Coupons have a flexible monthly due date.
- There is no penalty for failing to make a payment or early payment.
- All taxes on the bill are due in full on the due date, any outstanding balance after the due date is subject to a penalty for late payment.
