The deadline to pre-pay your Wabash County property taxes has again been extended. Treasurer Beverly McBride has announced that the new deadline is now September 30th to prepay 2019 payable in 2020 real estate taxes. So far, McBride said her office has collected just over $88,000 in pre-payments.
While there’s been no timetable as to when tax bills will be mailed, McBride is already looking ahead to the collection process and how to keep taxpayers safe. She said a flyer will be inserted in each tax bill letting taxpayers know of options to for contactless payment. According to McBride, taxpayers will be able to pay at local banks, the courthouse drop box, by mail, and online credit card payment. It’s hoped, she said, by the time tax bills are mailed, COVID-19 numbers will drop considerably…but if not, she said her office will be ready.
