Increasing tax delinquencies in counties throughout Ohio is a concern of all County Treasurers. Since we have multiple problems, we needed multiple solutions to assist in the collection of outstanding accounts.
THE SOLUTION
The Delinquent Tax Payment Plan gives Summit County the opportunity to
take the lead once again and provide its citizens with a caring payment
program.
In addition to the Ohio Legislature passing an expanded payment plan for all of Ohio, my program has also received national recognition via an Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties.
PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE
Contact my staff in the Delinquent Tax Department at 330-643-2600. A Tax
Collector will work out a payment schedule based on the amount of the
delinquency and the financial ability to pay.
We can also put taxpayers in contact with Family Services Consumer Credit Counseling. They are prepared to handle residential delinquent taxpayers who require a budget analysis.
HOW THE DELINQUENT TAX PROGRAM WORKS
To be eligible your property must be delinquent, meaning you have missed
a first and/or 2nd half payment.
- Your delinquent balance will be paid off in monthly installments.
- Additional interest will be abated when program is completed.
- You MUST pay current taxes when they are due.
- You have the option to become part of the existing Tax Escrow Program (monthly installments on forthcoming tax collections.)
BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM
The Delinquent Tax Payment Plan allows residential taxpayers and
business owners to keep their property without the worry of foreclosure.
Our schools benefit from tax revenues otherwise not being collected.
Under the plan, all delinquent balances are frozen into a special payment account; that is, no further interest is assessed against the delinquent balance providing the taxpayer meets the required payment schedule.
If you are a business owner and need assistance with any Personal Property Tax delinquencies, we can provide a monthly payment plan.
