The deadline for the fall installment of property taxes is right around the corner, Tuesday, Nov. 12, and the Washington County Treasurer's office is extending office hours to accommodate taxpayers.
The office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning Monday, Nov. 4 though Friday, Nov. 8 as well as Tuesday, Nov. 12.
There are other places where taxpayers may pay as well, including any branch of First Harrison Bank.
Payments may be mailed in, but must be postmarked Nov. 12 or before, or may be left in the drop box on the south side of the building.
Taxpayers also have the option of paying online. Treasurer Bob Woodward noted that taxpayers may use credit or debit cards, but will be accessed a fee by the credit card company. The fee is 2.95 percent of the amount being paid. "That fee is to the credit card company, we don't receive that," Woodward stressed.
