FAQs

Can I use my credit card for payment?

You may pay with either a Master Card, American Express, VISA or Discover Card in the Treasurer’s Office or online using the "GovPayNet" link. Debit card payment is also accepted. An online payment convenience fee of 2.25% is charged by GovPay for all electronic payments. No portion of that fee is paid to Stephenson County. 

What if, for some reason, I have to pay my taxes late?

 

After the due date, a late penalty is added at the rate of 1.5% per month.

This penalty is not prorated.

The exact amount of the penalty can be learned by a call to our office at 235-8264.

I never received my tax bill. What should I do?

If you did not receive a tax bill during the month of May or June, or if you lose your bill, a computer print-out of the essential information contained on the missing printed version of the bill can be provided by the Treasurer's Office. Caution: Failure to receive your tax bill does not void the tax or prevent the addition of penalties and costs.
