Prepayment Coupons

Beginning in 2020 the Treasures office has discontinued mailing prepayment coupons and will provide them through the County's website. Prepayment coupons are available on or around February 1st, 2024. These coupons have been provided to help taxpayers make monthly, optional prepayments and avoid a large tax bill in November. Coupons are based on the last year’s taxes and divided into 9 payment coupons. Upon finalizing your payment(s) if there is a difference it will appear on the November 2024 tax bill. This difference is due to current year taxes not being finalized until mid-October.

If unable to print your coupons please contact the Treasurer to have them mailed to you. Coupons can be returned to us by mail or dropped off at our office. Instead of mailing in your prepayment checks, you can also choose to set up automatic monthly payments from your bank account or credit card see above.
