Treasurer Extends Hours as Lake County Property Taxes Come Due

From the Northwest Indiana Times:

Lake County Treasurer John Petalas said he will extend his office's hours Thursday and Friday night to accommodate last minute taxpayers.

He said bills can be paid 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday at his offices in the Lake County Government Complex, 2293 N. Main St., Crown Point, and the satellite county courthouses at 401 Broadway in Gary and 232 Russell St. in Hammond.

Payments also can be made during the regular business hours of branch offices of these financial institutions: American Savings FSB, American Trust & Savings Bank, Centier Bank, Chase Bank, Citizens Financial Bank, DeMotte State Bank, First Federal Savings and Loan, First Midwest, First National Bank, BMO Harris Bank, Horizon Bank, Lake Federal Bank, Main Source Bank, National City Bank, Peoples Bank, PNC Bank and the Indiana branches of Tech Federal Credit Union.

Petalas said the banks will accept only full tax payments. Anyone making partial payments must do so at his offices. He said payment deadline is the close of business Friday.
