Property tax bills were mailed to voters this month, and there’s about a month left to get your payments to the Warren County Collector’s Office.
Collector Julie Schaumberg said 2019 real estate and personal property tax bills were mailed Nov. 8. All bills must be paid in full or postmarked by Dec. 31 to avoid late penalties.
Residents who own property or vehicles who have not received a tax bill should contact the collector’s office as soon as possible to avoid penalties.
Schaumberg said anyone who hasn’t received their statement or otherwise has questions about their bill can call the collector’s office at 636-456-3330, or email collector@warrencountymo.org.
Payments can be made by mail to the Warren County Collector Fund, 101 Mockingbird Lane, Suite 200, Warrenton, MO 63383. Payments can also be made in person at the collector’s office at the above address, or dropped off in the drop box at the front door of the building. Warren County also has an online bill pay option at WarrenCountyMO.org/County-Collector.
The collector’s office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but closes on holidays. The drop box is accessible any time and is checked daily.
Residents should inspect their statements to verify that mailing address, vehicles and real estate descriptions are correct. Personal property tax statements are based on the vehicles or manufactured home each resident owned on Jan. 1, 2019. Vehicles purchased after that time should not be listed on this year’s tax statement.
Anyone who believes there has been an error on their tax bill should call the collector’s office.
Those who have multiple tax statements can pay their total due with a single check, but are advised to make sure the full amount owed is paid on the check.
Schaumberg had an extra word of caution for those who tend to wait to pay their tax bills.
“Just remember, if you wait till (Dec.) 31 to send your bill and payment, it doesn’t allow any time for errors. Penalty and interest will apply if your payments are figured wrong,” she said.
Answers to other frequently asked questions are included with tax bills and also available on the collector’s website, WarrenCountyMO.org/County-Collector.
