Step 3

Billing and Payment Process

After assessments, equalization, and appeal decisions are applied, the Treasurer issues the tax bill, collects payments, and provides tools for refunds, tax history, and delinquency lookup.

What the Treasurer handles

Tax bills, payments, refunds, bill copies, payment status, and delinquent tax-sale status.

What you can check online

PIN lookup, address lookup, tax bill downloads, email bill signup, exemptions shown on file, and 20-year tax history.

What this stage depends on

Your final bill reflects more than assessment alone. It also depends on exemptions, local levies, and countywide equalization.

What you can do on the Treasurer's overview page

  • Make a payment
  • Download a copy of your tax bill
  • See whether a refund may be available
  • Sign up to receive tax bills by email
  • Check whether delinquent taxes have been sold
  • View 20-year property tax history and district debt information tied to the property

Common taxpayer questions

Why did my bill change? A bill can change because of new assessments, appeal decisions, exemptions, equalization, or changes in local taxing district levies.

Where do I find my bill? Use the Treasurer's property tax overview page by PIN or address.

Where do refunds show up? The Treasurer's site is the main public-facing source to check refund availability and status.
