Property Tax Due Date
Montgomery County Property Tax Payments
Montgomery County's tax statements are mailed by mid-April each year, complying with the Indiana state guidelines. Statements include payment coupons for both the spring and fall payments and dog tax forms. The payments are due every May 10 and November 10. If those dates fall on a weekend or holiday, the deadline is extended to the next business day.
To check balances and other property details, taxpayers are directed to research their parcel and current balances at the county's GIS website, https://beacon.schneidercorp.com/.
For taxpayer convenience and safety, the Treasurer provides several payment options.
Pay in the Office. Our office is open weekdays from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm. We are located at 1580 Constitution Row.
Use the Drop Box. A secure drop box is located under the front door awning of the County Government Center and is checked multiple times daily. We discourage the use of cash in this box. When using the drop box, please put payments in an envelope and mark them clearly with information to identify the taxpayer, the address, and the parcel. Your canceled check will serve as a receipt or you can include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for a returned receipt. Confirmation of payment history is available to view online for you parcel at https://beacon.schneidercorp.com/.
Mail Payments. Please mail payments to the Treasurer at 1580 Constitution Row, Crawfordsville, IN 47933. If a receipt is desired, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The postmark date is accepted as an on-time payment, but it is not encouraged to wait until the final day to ensure that the mail is truly processed and postmarked on the due date.
Pay at Local Banks. All Montgomery County First Financial, Hoosier Heartland, and Tri-County banks offer a great service to our county residents by accepting payment for three weeks before each due date. The taxpayer must submit the payment coupon and pay the exact amount listed to pay at the banks.
Pay Online or by Phone. To pay online, go to the home page of the county website, select Online Bill Pay. Next choose the Property Tax, Dog Taxes & Tax Payments option. Search by parcel number OR name OR address. To pay by phone, call (855) 276-8051 and have your parcel number ready. Multiple parcels and dog taxes can be paid in the the same transaction. Please be aware that using any type of online system charges a service fee. Paying with an ACH e-check (your bank routing numbers) has a lower fee than using a card.
Though the county does not have formal payment plans, full and partial payments are accepted anytime throughout the year. Appropriate penalties will apply if installments are not paid in full by the due date.
Our County Commissioners enacted the Dog Tax in 2007. All dog owners are legally bound to pay $5 for each dog over 6 months of age, with the maximum of $30 per family. Kennel owners pay $30 for 1-6 dogs and $50 for 7 dogs or more. Those payments can be made at the same time property taxes are being paid. The dog tax funds go toward the Montgomery County Animal Welfare League, animal control, claim reimbursements, and canine research and education.
To lower future property tax bills, many are eligible for deductions including the Homestead, Over 65, Blind and Disabled, Disabled Veteran, or Geothermal. To check deductions and eligibilities, contact the Auditor's Office.
