Dear Preble County Taxpayers,

Due to the current environment of the COVID VIRUS, there will be some changes made regarding paying the first half real estate taxes for 2020 due in 2021.

I would like to encourage that payments be made using the following choices:

1. Mail in your check along with the bottom stub on the tax bill.
2. You may pay by credit card through the Auditor's web site (directions will appear on the top right of the tax bill). This transaction takes 5 to 7 business days to complete so you must plan ahead.
3. You may also have the tax payment set up through your bank checking account. (online billpay)
4. We also have a drop box inside the courthouse at the security desk that is available.
5. You may also pay at the local banks and branches during their business hours. You can not pay at US Bank or Fifth Third Bank at this time.

If you need to contact our office regarding your tax bill or the delivery of the tax bill, call us at 937-456-8140. If you are requiring to come into the office, you will need to call and schedule an appointment. I will try to accomodate all requests and make sure you are in the correct location to get the problem solved.

As the County Treasurer it is my job to make sure that the payments received will be posted in an efficient and timely manner. We work very hard in this office to make sure that happens.

Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe.

Sincerely, Brenda White Preble County Treasurer

ATTENTION

Tenative Values are now available for your review.

Due to the Ohio Division of Tax Equalization Demand and Real Estate Sales Data analysis, values are higher than we had hoped. We tried our best to keep this value increase as low as possible, but unfortunately, we had to comply with the order or we would jeopardize County school funding. 

Please take time to look over your property value increase, that will affect your 2021 property taxes.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Sean Maggard at 937-456-8131.

Thank you!
