Real Estate Taxes Second Installment Due September 4

Peoria County Treasurer Nicole Bjerke would like to remind Peoria County taxpayers that the second installment of real estate taxes is due on Wednesday, September 4, 2024.

"Payments made by mail must be postmarked by the post office on or before September 4, 2024," said Treasurer Bjerke. "Be sure to check the pickup times at mail receptacles to ensure an accurate postmark."

Taxes are payable at most county banks with payment coupon only through September 4. Taxes may also be paid by mail, by credit card, and electronic check online or via phone, or in person at the Treasurer's office. As a reminder, Peoria City Hall is no longer a collection point for property tax payments.

Payments postmarked after September 4, 2024, will be subject to a penalty charge. The appropriate payment stub located on the bottom of the tax bill should accompany the tax payment. Taxpayers should remember to put their parcel number on their check to ensure proper credit.

The Peoria County Treasurer's Office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. It is located in the Peoria County Courthouse, 324 Main St., Room G-15, Peoria, IL 61602.

If a tax bill has been misplaced, lost, or never received, a duplicate bill can be printed online at http://propertytax.peoriacounty.org/. Failure to receive a tax bill or receiving it late for any reason does not relieve the taxpayer of penalties if not paid by the due date.
