Monday Deadline For Paying Taxes In County
County Treasurer Carl O Schmitkens said real estate taxes may be paid without penalty on Monday since February 20 falls on a Sunday. Taxes paid after Monday incur a ten percent penalty by law. The state tax board fixed February 20 as the final date. Collections today total 3,3197,000 and are expected to surpass 4,000,000 before the deadline. Last year’s first half total was 3,968,601. Increase in valuations and higher district rates in 53 of 61 districts should raise last year’s figure substantially.
