From the Lafayette Journal and Courier:
Time is running out for property owners to pay their taxes with only a 5 percent fine for being late.
Property taxes were due on Nov. 12, Tippecanoe County Treasurer Bob Plantenga said, but the state allows for a 30-day period with the smaller fine for property owners who might have overlooked the deadline or were short of cash at the due date. The last day to pay at the lower fine is Dec. 11, he said.
The 5 percent fine applies to any delinquent property owners who did not have any prior delinquencies in their taxes, he said. For property owners who missed the Nov. 12 deadline and also have prior missed payments, the fine is 10 percent.
“If you don’t pay within 30 days, you will have a 10 percent penalty,” Plantenga said.
Payments can be made at the treasurer’s office on the second floor of the County Building, 20 N. Third St., in Lafayette.
The fines will appear on the property owner’s spring tax bills.
...
So far, about 96 percent of Tippecanoe County property owners have paid their 2013 property taxes, Plantenga said.
