Clark County property tax statements were mailed to taxpayers Monday, and the due date for the first of two installments is May 12.

Property owners will not receive a fall billing or tax due reminder for the second installment, which is due Nov. 10, unless they provide the Clark County treasurer’s office with an email address. The treasurer’s office will send a payment due reminder to any property owner registered for eBilling, according to a press release issued by the treasurer’s office.

For property tax bills less than $25, the entire amount is due May 12. Property owners whose mortgage banks escrow tax payments are encouraged to contact their banks to ensure that the tax bills have been paid.

Tax bills can be paid via any of several methods:

• Payments may be mailed to the Clark County Treasurer, P.O. Box 1508, Jeffersonville, IN 47131-1508. Payment is considered on time when postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service by the due date;

• Payments may be made in person at the treasurer’s office, located in Room 125 of the Clark County Government Building, 501 E. Court Ave., Jeffersonville. Taxpayers are encouraged to note that those wishing to pay in person risk substantial wait times because of staffing limitations;

• Payments may be made in person at any MainSource Bank, New Washington State Bank or Your Community Bank at all Clark and Floyd county locations, by cash or check. Taxpayers must bring their entire statement to the bank for their payment to be accepted;
