NOTICE: Taxpayers who choose to mail their property tax payments should be aware of recent updates to United States Postal Service (USPS) postmark practices that may affect payment timeliness. Postmark dates reflect when mail pieces are processed by USPS sorting machinery, which is not necessarily the date the mail pieces were placed in the mail. Because Ohio law relies on postmark date to determine whether a payment was made on time, taxpayers mailing payments close to a due date are strongly encouraged to 1) allow additional mailing time, 2) request an in-person, hand-stamped postmark at the Post Office counter, or 3) use an alternative method of payment to ensure timely receipt. Payments postmarked and received after the due date may be subject to penalties and interest charges.
- Please only mail checks, cashier's checks, or money orders.
- Do not mail cash.
