1. When are taxes due?

Tax statements are mailed in November, around Thanksgiving. The first half is due on or before December 20th and if not paid, begins to accrue interest the following day. The second half is due on or before May 10th of the following year.

Reminder postcards for the second half payment are sent out if the first half was paid.
Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the taxpayer from tax payment responsibilities.

2. How do I protest my taxes?

3. I didn't receive a tax statement. What do I do?

If you are to receive a statement but do not by the beginning of December, please contact the County Treasurer's office at 620-672-4116.

4. What if my mortgage company pays my taxes and I receive the tax bill?

If you have an escrow account for your real estate taxes with a mortgage company, the mortgage company should receive the tax statement. If you do receive the tax statement instead of the mortgage company, we ask you to forward it to the mortgage company so they can pay taxes from the escrow account. We also ask you to have your current mortgage company notify the County Treasurer's office so that we can get the correct billing information from them.

5. I am on the Revitalization program. When do I receive my check?

Checks are issued within 30 days after the second half payment is received.

6. When would my real estate property be on the tax sale?

Real estate property taxes three years delinquent are subject to a tax foreclosure action and public sale.
