Property Taxes

Statements are mailed by the end of November for the current year.  Full payment can be made for the current year on or before December 20, or you may choose to pay your tax bill in 2 installments.

Billing & Collection of Taxes

Real Estate and Utility Taxes:

  • First half tax payments are due by December 20 of the current year
  • Second half tax payments are due by May 10 of the following year
  • Payments received after their due date incur penalty interest

Real estate and utility tax unpaid by August 1 will be advertised in the official newspaper and a $16 publication fee added.

If unpaid on the first Tuesday in September, the tax becomes a lien against the property.

Personal Property Tax, 16-20 M Trucks, and Oil & Gas Tax

Full or half tax is due December 20. If the first half is not paid on or before December 20, the full amount becomes due with interest. If unpaid after January 1 and on or before March 6, it shall become a warrant for collection by the Coffey County Sheriff.

Second half tax due May 10, and thereafter, if unpaid will draw interest. If the second half is  still unpaid on June 14, it shall become a warrant for collection by the Coffey County Sheriff.

All personal property, 16 and 20 M trucks, and oil and gas tax remaining unpaid on October 1, will be advertised and a $16 publication fee added. The tax, interest, and all fees will be entered in District Court as a judgment and shall become a lien upon real estate owned by the delinquent taxpayer.
