After a flurry of real estate tax payments in Wabash County before the first installment was due last month, collections really slowed down according to treasurer Beverly McBride…
McBride told county commissioners Friday that the 85% collected before the first due date was exceptional compared to the average of 65% collected. She said this Friday is the last day to pay your property taxes before your name appears in the newspaper with the tax sale set for March 19th. There’s still $542,000 in unpaid property taxes in Wabash County according to McBride.
