Taxpayers reminded of last-minute options for paying real estate taxes
John Burke
MEDINA COUNTY – With the due date of Feb. 10 for real estate tax bills looming, Medina County Treasurer John Burke wants to remind taxpayers of last-minute options for paying their taxes.
Go online to the treasurer’s website at medinacountytreasurer.com and click “Search and Pay Taxes” in the left column to find your tax bill amount and payment options.
There are several online tax payment options to choose from. You can pay using an e-check (electronic check) which allows the homeowner to pay directly from their bank account anytime. There is a 50-cent fee paid to the vendor for using this option.
Taxpayers can also use their PayPal account or credit card. A fee of 2.25 percent is charged by the vendor for these options and the county does not receive any of the fees charged. MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express credit cards are accepted online. To pay with a credit card by phone call 888-607-8389. American Express is not accepted over the phone.
There is also an option with PayPal that allows the tax bill amount to be paid on “PayPal credit.” There are no payments or interest charges if you pay it off in full within six months. The normal 2.25 percent fee does apply to using this option.
Taxpayers can always make their tax payments in person at the treasurer’s office at 144 N. Broadway Street in Medina. Burke said his normal hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays are being extended on the due date of Friday, Feb. 10 to 6 p.m. There are also four drop boxes for tax payments located around the county – in Medina at the County Administration Building and at the Wadsworth Municipal Building, Brunswick City Hall and Lodi Library. Burke reminds taxpayers that only check payments are to be made using drop boxes (no cash) and remember to include your tax bill stub.
Any payments made by mail must be postmarked by the due date.
If you have any questions about your tax bill you may call the treasurer’s office at 330-725-9748.
