Geauga County taxpayers will have until Feb. 26, 2025, to pay their first-half 2024 real estate tax bill.
“Taxpayers deserve to be given as much notice as possible to plan payment of one of the largest bills they receive every year, their real estate tax bill,” Geauga County Treasurer Christopher P. Hitchcock said in a Jan. 16 press release. “As the tax bill mailing depends on numerous factors outside our control, I have already asked the Ohio Department of Taxation and received permission to extend the tax collection due date to Feb. 26, 2025.”
Amended tax rates due to the dissolution of Aquilla Village and the absorption of those parcels to Claridon Township were received and certified Jan. 15, Hitchcock said.
“While we strive to send bills earlier in the year, we are bound to the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Department of Taxation,” he added.
Amended files were sent to the printer Jan. 16 and bills should be mailed sometime in the next 10 days, the release said.
For those who cannot wait to receive their bill in the mail, upon certification, duplicate tax bills will be available on the county website, www.geaugatax.com, or by calling or coming to the treasurer’s office, the release stated.,
Payment may be made in cash, money order, check or credit card by calling 1-855-782-3909 or visiting www.geaugatax.com. There is a convenience fee for using the credit card service.
For those who are unable to make full payment, taxpayers are reminded there are several payment programs available. For information call the Geauga County Treasurer’s Office at 440-279-2000.
