Marion County residents will soon be receiving their property tax statements.

This year’s statements will be sent out today after a short delay from prior years. Marion County Treasurer Denise Emal tells KNIA/KRLS News the delay in property tax statements was due to a new statement form being used for this year. Emal believes the form will be easier to understand and more user friendly. Emal says property taxes are due on Friday, September 1st but they will not be considered delinquent until after October 1st.
