Spring Property Tax Bills Go in the mail April 3

Treasurer Nancy Coats states that Property Tax statements are being prepared and will be mailed on April 3^rd this year.

Coats wants property owners to know that the spring property tax payments are due on May 12^th and the fall property tax payments are due on November 10^th for 2025.

Property taxes are a vital element in keeping the county running. The courthouse is open to the public Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:00pm. Property tax payments can be made in person at the Treasurer’s Office by cash, check, or money order. Payments may also be made at First Savings Bank (Salem branch only) with check only and must be accompanied by the payment coupons.

If payments are made after hours, property owners can utilize the gray drop box on the south side of the courthouse (by the sidewalk).

If you would like to mail your payment, please send to 99 Public Square, Suite 101, Salem, IN 47167. Coats also asks that no cash be put in the drop box or sent by mail. If you are mailing your payment, please make sure to include the payment coupons so payments can be posted to the proper accounts.  If you would like a receipt for your payment that you are mailing, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your payment.

Payments can also be made online at www.washingtoncounty.in.gov or by calling (877) 690-3729 with Jurisdiction Code 2499. If paying online, the payments are processed by Forte and a convenience fee will apply. Mortgage Companies should make payments for property owners with escrow accounts.

If property owners have questions or concerns about their property tax bills, they may call the Treasurer’s Office at 812-883-3307 or Coats can be reached via email at treasurer@washingtoncounty.in.gov or ncoats@washingtoncounty.in.gov.

Coats states that the Treasurer’s office receives hundreds, if not thousands of tax payments by mail each year. If the postmark from the postal service is by May 12^th or Nov 10^th your tax payments will be received on time. It usually takes three weeks after the due date to get all the on-time mail processed and Coats thanks you for patience during this busy time.

The Treasurer’s office will be open extended hours May 8^th through May 12^th 8:00am to 5:00pm. On Saturday May 10^th the office will be open 8:00am to Noon.
