General Property Tax Information:
Property taxes are due on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1st. Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt you from paying taxes or the interest due on delinquent taxes.
Buena Vista Township permits a 10 day grace period. After the grace period has passed, interest will be charged back to the due date. Please be advised there is no statutory authority for the Tax Collector to acknowledge postmarks, therefore all payments must be received in the office on or before the 10th. The only exception would be if the 10th falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the taxpayer would then have until the next business day to make payment.
All payments must be made by cash, money order, or check. (CREDIT AND DEBIT ARE NOT ACCEPTED IN THE OFFICE, HOWEVER ARE TAKEN ONLINE – Click here
