 **********************************************************************************************

The Jackson County Treasurer's Office is accepting pre-payments for 2017 property taxes payable in 2018. Please contact our office today for information on joining this program. Join hundreds of other Jackson County taxpayers in making early payments so the final amount you will pay next summer will be reduced.

In light of the new Tax Bill that is in the US Congress, the Jackson County Treasurer's Office will take payment for estimated 2017 payable in 2018 tax bills. We will begin on December 20, 2017. We will need for the taxpayer to come into the office, sign a form, provide us with ALL affected parcel numbers, and pay with check. Our credit card payment option has been closed for this calendar year. All parcels must be paid current. We can take no payment on parcels that have back taxes due.

Duties of Treasurer's Office

The Jackson County Treasurer's Office is the banker for Jackson County.  Upon receipt of the collector books from the county clerk, the county collector prepares tax bills for all real estate taxes within the county and mails them to owners of record. The distribution of tax receipts are then made to the various taxing districts during the collection period. Along with the collection of real estate taxes, the county treasurer also collects the mobile home local service tax and administrates for the Department of Revenue the Senior Citizens Real Estate Tax Deferral Program. 

In addition, the Treasurer's Office is responsible for refunding of duplicate or over payments, issuing of error refunds, annual and scavenger tax sales for delinquent properties, the accounting and auditing of collections and distributions.

The Treasurer's Office also keeps the records and approve the investments for many of the accounts needed for the county's general operations.
