The deadline is approaching for fall property taxes as the due date has been set for one week from today on Nov. 12, and payments may be fulfilled through the mail, in-person, online or at First Financial Bank in Rossville.
For mailed payments, community members are required to enclose the tax coupon and check before mailing the envelope to 220 Courthouse Square in Frankfort. Envelopes are required to be postmarked on or before the due date, Nov. 12, or late penalties will be applied. For a receipt, community members should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope alongside the payment.
For in-person payments, community members are required to visit the Clinton County Treasurer’s Office on the second floor of the Clinton County Courthouse from Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. A drop box is also available to receive in-person payments on the north side of the courthouse building for those paying with a check. All payments require the tax coupon to be included.
For online payments, community members are required to visit clintonco.com, click on the Pay My Taxes Online tab and utilize a credit card, debit card or e-check to complete the transaction. For online payments, a 2.5% charge for credit and debit card transactions alongside a $1 fee for e-checks will be required.
For payments at First Financial Bank in Rossville, community members are required to present the tax coupon and pay the exact amount that is on the coupon. Payments will be accepted during normal business hours.
Spring payments not paid on or before Nov. 12 will receive a five-percent penalty that will be added if there is not a delinquent amount. For those with a previous delinquency or those who complete the payment after Dec. 12, a ten-percent penalty will be added to the amount.
Partial payments do not relieve the taxpayer of late penalties, extra fees or property being subject to a tax sale according to the Clinton County government.
