MARION COUNTY — Marion County Treasurer Gary Purcell has announced that enrollment for the Marion County Property Tax Monthly Payment program will begin this week.

The monthly payment program divides the amount equal to your tax bill from last year multiplied by 2% then divides that amount by nine which will be your monthly payment. Before making final payments, tax payers will need to contact the treasurer’s office for the balance on  your account which could be more or less depending on 2019 payable 2020 real estate tax bill.

Once in the program, tax payers will still receive their 2019 payable 2020 real estate tax bill. Depending on the time of printing the new bills, the new bills will show remaining balances.

If you were enrolled last year, there is no need to sign up again unless you would like to add or remove a property from the program.

The Treasurer’s Office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday to answer any questions or call 618-548-3858.
