83% of Wabash County property taxes have been collected according to treasurer Angela Broster. She reported to county commissioners yesterday that approximately $11.2 million has been collected so far. 75% of the tax levy was in the first distribution paid to local taxing bodies on January 19th. The second installment of property taxes is due Friday, February 16th. Local banks can only collect on the second installment. Broster said if you mail in your second installment, that payment must be postmarked on or before the 16th to not be considered late to avoid a penalty charge. Currently, a 1.5% penalty is being added to delinquent first installment payments. She said the second distribution to taxing districts will be mailed the week of February 20th.
