Clarification on 2023 County/Township Real Estate Tax Bill!
There seems to be confusion about a line on the 2023 County/Township Real Estate tax bill taxpayers should have recently received.
Under âOFFICE HOURS,â the third line down says âNO PERSONAL CHECKS AFTER 12/14/23â. This does not mean that personal checks will no longer be accepted as payment for taxes! It means that after December 14 of this year, the only acceptable payment will be cashierâs check, certified check, or money order rather than a personal check. Please note that I do not accept cash at any time.
To clarify, the only time personal checks are not accepted in the tax office is at the end of the year when I am trying to close my books. Personal checks will continue to be acceptable payment for taxes as long as I am in officeâjust not after December 14. My predecessor also did not accept personal checks at the very end of the year, so nothing has changed!
