A simple way to make smaller, regular payments toward your real estate taxes.
Real estate taxes are collected twice a year. The Escrow Program allows taxpayers to make monthly payments toward their taxes instead of paying larger semi-annual amounts.
Payments are held in an escrow account and applied to your real estate or manufactured home taxes when they become due. There are no fees to participate in the program.
The Escrow Program is available to taxpayers who are current on their real estate taxes. Taxpayers with delinquent taxes should contact the Treasurer’s Office to discuss other payment options.
Monthly payments help simplify household budgeting by spreading costs more evenly throughout the year.
Your payment amount will be based on your most recent tax bill. The estimated total due is divided by the number of months remaining before the next tax due date.
If there is a remaining balance after the escrow payments, a balance due bill will be mailed.
Payment coupons include recommended due dates and amounts, but participation is flexible. You are not required to make each monthly payment as long as your taxes are paid in full by the semi-annual due dates.
You may pay more or less throughout the year. Any unpaid balance after the due date will be subject to penalties and interest in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code.
