The Doulgas County Treasurer is asking residents that are financially able to consider paying first half or full year property taxes early to fund essential services needed now and in the months to come.

In a press release Thursday, the Treasurer office also opted to maintain the April 30th deadline for property taxes and assessments.

However, a grace period extension will be offered where a taxpayer will pay 50% of their first half tax payment by April 30, with the remainder of the first half payment due on or before May 29 without interest or penalty.

The second option is an 8-payment plan with the final payment due November 30. The second half tax due date of October 31 will remain unchanged.

In the event the pandemic persists into late 2020, the Treasurer will consider offering similar plans for the second-half 2020 taxes and assessments.
