Second-half real estate tax bills mailed

Clinton County Treasurer Jason F. Walt announced that the second-half 2014 real estate taxes payable on or before July 20, 2015 are currently being mailed. The tax statements are being delivered via the U.S. Postal Service to property owners who are responsible for paying property taxes directly to the county. The tax bills are once again being printed and mailed by Smart Bill and will have a new look and are partially blue in color.

Property owners who escrow with a bank or mortgage company will not receive a tax statement since those institutions are responsible for making payment to the county from their customer’s escrowed funds.

Any real estate owner not receiving a tax bill should call the Clinton County Treasurer’s Office at 937-382-2224. Questions about the valuation, the tax calculation, CAUV or homestead should go to the Clinton County Auditor’s office at 937-382-2250. Clinton County Treasurer’s office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In addition to being able to pay at the treasurer’s office in the courthouse, real estate tax payments can be made at any Peoples Bank location in Clinton County at: the main office in Wilmington at 48 N. South St.; Wilmington Plaza at 1344 Rombach Ave.; Wilmington West at 1288 Wayne Road; the New Vienna branch at 141 Main St;, the Sabina branch at 135 N. Howard St.; and the Blanchester branch at 125 W. Main St.

Second-half real estate tax payments being mailed to the Clinton County Treasurer’s Office must have a U.S. Post Office postmark of July 20, 2015 or prior to ensure timely payment.
