Second half of property taxes due Nov. 1

EPHRATA — Grant County Treasurer Darryl Pheasant said he wants to remind county property owners the second half property tax payments are due to the county by Nov. 1, a release stated.

While second half tax payments are normally due Oct. 31, Pheasant said taxpayers will get an extra day to make payments since the last day of the month is a Sunday.

In the press release Thursday, Pheasant said tax payments mailed must be postmarked by Nov. 1 to avoid being considered delinquent. Taxpayers may also drop payments off in the county treasurer’s payment box outside the Grant County Courthouse in Ephrata, pay in person in the treasurer’s office, or online at the county website, www.grantcountywa.gov under the treasurer’s link.

Credit cards may be used both online and in person, though a processing fee is included, the press release said.

Pheasant urged all property tax payers to check statements, make sure all parcels are included and include the statement coupon for mailed tax payments. Taxpayers with more than one statement coupon may write a check for the total tax amount and sign their checks, Pheasant stated.
