The Trustee’s Office is a busy place this month as property taxpayers rush to beat the deadline

Trustee Sean Driver said 2017 property taxes are due by February 28, 2018.

As of Friday, February 9, 61% has been collected of the $9.06 million in 2017 DeKalb County property taxes to be collected by February 28, 2018 which includes property, residential, commercial, personal, and public utility taxes.

Penalties will start accruing March 1 on 2017 taxes not paid by the February 28 deadline.

Driver reminds taxpayers that you may:

1. Come in person to pay at the office.
2. Mail in your payment.
3. Pay online at tennesseetrustee.org– select, DeKalb.
   *There is a fee to use debit/credit card-2.75% of your total tax bill or submit an e-check for $2.75 on any total
   *Online accepts Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or American Express.
   *Business Information Systems collects the fees, not DeKalb County
4. A Dropbox is also located on the outside wall of the county offices section at the county complex building (where the Trustee’s Office is located) for your convenience after hours or on weekends.
5. Partial Payments are accepted in any amount.
   *Remember: Whatever portion of taxes are unpaid for 2017, using the partial payment plan; only the portion left unpaid will accrue 1.5% penalty and interest per month starting March 1, 2018.

You may also qualify for the State of Tennessee Property Tax Relief Program. If you would like to check on a possible tax relief for 2017, visit the Trustee’s Office at 732 South Congress Boulevard, Room 103, or call 615-597-5176. The last day to sign up for tax relief is April 5.

The Trustee’s Office is open regular hours from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday- Friday.

Any 2016 unpaid property taxes may be paid with interest and penalty through March 31. However any 2016 unpaid taxes will be turned over to the Chancery Court on April 1 for collection. The Trustee’s Office will soon be sending out a notice to those still delinquent.
