YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County Treasurer Dan Yemma announced Tuesday that property owners have been receiving their first-half real estate tax bills for approximately 166,000 parcels. Bills were sent the first week of February and should have been received by now.

The deadline to pay without penalty is Friday, March 7. There is no grace period. Property owners who have not received statements should check the website or call the Treasurer’s Office at 330-740-2460 to confirm payment amounts or request copies of bills, Yemma said. Bills for all taxpayers are able to be viewed online for those with online capability. Final bills for taxpayers who are on our Tax Installment Program (T.I.P.) have been mailed as well.

Per Ohio law “…failure to receive a tax bill will not avoid such penalty and interest.”

Yemma wishes to notify taxpayers that options for paying electronically have been greatly expanded and now include, in addition to credit card and electronic check, ability to pay via Google pay, Apple pay and Samsung pay. Taxpayers have the ability to schedule and set up automatic payments. There are transaction fees charged by the county’s third-party vendor. Transaction fees have been reduced.
