Fall property tax deadline is approaching
Sep. 30—RUSHVILLE — Rush County Treasurer Jodi Harr reminds Rush County taxpayers that it is time to find those fall tax statements.
The fall statement, the blue "B" copy, is needed for your November payment.
Lost or misplaced statements may be duplicated in the Treasurer's Office.
The fall deadline to pay is Thursday, November 10. All payments received after November 10 will receive a 5% penalty for the first 30 days and a 10% penalty after 30 days.
The Treasurer's Office is available to receive payments from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The office is located on the second floor of the Rush County Courthouse.
All checks should be made payable to the Rush County Treasurer.
The courthouse will be closed November 8 for Election Day.
Due to construction around the courthouse, parking is limited. Harr encourages Rush County residents to mail their payment, pay via the county website using a debit or credit card, or pay at either First Financial or Citizens State Bank.
First Financial Bank downtown and Citizens State Bank will continue to offer the convenient service of payment at their banking institutions. Only full payments as stated on the bill may be accepted at the bank starting October 1 and your cancelled check will serve as your receipt. No cash payments will be accepted.
When paying by mail, please include only the Treasurer's "B" copy of your statement. Retain the bottom section of the statement for your receipt. The bottom section has an area on the back to record the check information, date mailed and amount paid.
If a receipt is needed, enclose the orange "B" coupon, the bottom receipt coupon and a self-addressed stamped return envelope with the payment. Envelopes may be addressed to the Rush County Treasurer at PO Box 291 or 101 E 2nd St Room 213, Rushville IN 46173.
All envelopes, to be accepted as on time, must be postmarked on or before November 10. Make sure there is sufficient postage on the envelope.
A media service is available called Enotices Online. View your tax information and your payment history, make secure credit card payments, or receive email payment receipts for your records. Simply go to www.rushcounty.in.gov and select the heading at the top of the page that says Pay Taxes online.
A public terminal will be available in the Treasurer's Office for credit card payments. Any type of credit card payment will be assessed a fee depending on the type of card that is used. This fee belongs to the credit card processing company.
This is also a good time to check your tax exemptions. Have you moved recently and need to refile your Homestead exemption? Refinanced and have a new mortgage? Or have you turned 65 this year? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be eligible to receive a tax exemption. Exemptions and address changes are filed in the Auditor's Office (765) 932-2077.
Harr may be reached at (765) 932-2386 or at treasurer@rushcounty.in.gov.
