In the normal tax cycle, we shoot for a May 01 mailing of real estate property tax bills. Therefore; the 1^st installment due date would be June 01. The 2^nd installment is due on September 01.

Regarding mobile home tax bills; We point to a mailing date of March 15. Due to the new software program last year, the bills were not mailed until June 15 with a due date of September 15. By law, mobile home tax bills are due 60 days from the mailing date and are always for the current calendar year.

In 2006, we will have a secure drop box on the north side of the Macon County Administration Building for both real estate and mobile home bill payments. The taxpayer must have a check or bank draft only, along with the payment stub that has been mailed to them. Without both, the drop box can not be used. We hope this provides more convenience for the Macon Count taxpayers. The taxpayers can also make their payments at all of the Macon County banks which serve as collector points and no fee is attached.
