Sarpy County real estate taxes are levied in arrears. For example, the 2011 taxes are levied at the end of 2011 and become due on the last day of December 2011.  They are normally payable in 2012 by whoever owns the property in 2012 and not by the people who owned it in 2011.  If you buy the property in the middle of 2012 you will normally pay one half of the "2011" taxes which are payable in 2012. 

The first half becomes delinquent April 1, 2012 and the second half August 1, 2012.  The term "due" only means you may pay them at the end of 2011 and claim them on your 2011 income tax return, if you itemize.  You can pay each half BEFORE April 1 and August 1 respectively without penalty. 

If you do not pay by the delinquent dates, interest will be computed on a daily basis using an annual rate of fourteen percent.  Minimum payment is one half the years tax plus accrued delinquent interest.  Interest continues to accrue until payment is made.

Only one tax statement is send out per year in approximately the middle of December.  

Please mark your calendar.  First half and second half reminder notices are NOT sent.

Payment options:  We only accept cash or check at the counter.  If you want to charge your taxes (approximately 3% fee) or pay by e-check ($3) select:   PAYONLINE  If you pay online and there are not sufficient funds in your account to cover your e-check you will be charged an additional $20 for the insufficient funds processing.  If you do not enter your routing number and account number properly resulting in a failure to make the payment you will be charged an additional $10 charge back fee.

If you pay your own taxes, have a recent purchase, or payoff the mortgage, do not assume that the years taxes are paid. Go to our web site PROPERTY SEARCH button on the left side of the screen or give us a call and check!
