First Installment of Property Taxes Due Friday

This Friday is the deadline to pay at least the first installment of your Effingham County property tax bill and avoid a penalty for late payment.

Bills went out in July. A 1-1/2% per month interest penalty for late payment of bills will be assessed for anyone paying the first installment after Friday.

The second installment is due Friday, November 7.

Be sure to take along your bill when making your payment at any financial institution in the county or at the County Treasurer's office on the second floor of the Effingham County Office Building.
