What payment methods are accepted?
You may pay property taxes via personal/business check, cashier’s check, money order or exact cash. Payments via debit or credit card are not accepted.
What if I make payment after September 14th?
You will owe interest on the unpaid tax at a rate of 1% per month. If the tax remains unpaid on March 1, it will be returned to the Calhoun County Treasurer as delinquent for collection at the same time and in the same manner as other delinquent property taxes.​
How can I confirm the payment was received?
If paying by check, please check with your bank first to confirm that the check has been cashed. If you escrow your taxes, please check with your mortgage or escrow company. As the taxpayer, you're liable for the tax payment.
What if I did not receive a tax bill - am I still liable for the tax?
Yes. While the collecting treasurer is to send tax bills out to all known taxpayers, if the tax bill is returned due to a bad address or name, as the property owner you are still liable for the tax. Not receiving a tax bill, does not alleviate the tax burden. If you have not received a tax bill or have received late bills, you should check with your local treasurer or assessor to confirm that they have the correct owner name and address for billing purposes.
Will the county or local collecting unit impose an administration fee for collecting the tax on behalf of a local unit of government?
The General Property Tax Law provides that a local property tax collecting unit may add a property tax administration fee of not more than 1% of the total tax bill per parcel.
