Tax bills are normally mailed on October 1st.

Customers are eligible for a 2% discount if their bill is paid by November 1st.  The base amount of the tax bill, without a discount, is due between November 2nd – December 31st.  If a tax bill is paid after January 1st a 5% penalty is assessed to 30 days.  If a tax bill is paid after February 1st a 21% penalty is assessed to the bill.

At the close of business on April 15^th, all unpaid tax bills are transferred to the Boone County Clerk’s Office.  After April 15^th, the taxpayer will need to contact the Boone County Clerk’s Office for the amount that is due.

We do accept credit cards as a form of payment.  However there is an additional third party fee for paying with a credit card.  If interested in the amount of the fee, please call for current rates. They range from 2.5% to 3.5% depending on your particular card.

Tax bills are issued to the listed property owner as January 1st of the tax year.  If the previous owner receives the bill, they should forward the bill to the new owner.  The Sheriff’s Office does not have access to the new deed transfers.  If you purchased property this year, you need to call (859) 334-2175 to obtain a copy of the tax bill for your property.
