Property owners in Cuyahoga County are reminded that the deadline for property tax payments is fast approaching. According to an announcement from the Cuyahoga County Treasury, tax bills are now accessible online for viewing and payment. All property taxes for the current cycle must be paid by February 19, 2026.
Taxpayers can expect physical tax bills to begin arriving in mailboxes by the end of January. For those who wish to get ahead of the payment schedule, early courtesy copies of tax bills can be requested by contacting the Treasurer’s Office directly. To facilitate the payment process, the office will extend its operational hours from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from February 17 through February 19, allowing additional time for in-person payments.
For convenience, various in-person payment options are available. Taxpayers can make payments via cash, checks, money orders, and both credit and debit cards at the Treasurer’s Office located at the County Administrative Headquarters. Payments can also be dropped off in designated drop boxes or at select Auto Title and KeyBank locations. Those preferring to make payments over the phone can call the dedicated line at 1-877-738-1212.
The option for online payments is likely to be the preferred choice for many. Taxpayers can utilize an e-check, which incurs no fees, while credit and debit card payments will come with additional charges. For those looking to manage their finances proactively, the EasyPay service allows for monthly, semiannual, or yearly installment payments without any extra cost. The County has also issued a reminder regarding the evolving practices of the United States Postal Service; taxpayers mailing their payments close to the deadline should ensure that their envelopes are timely stamped to avoid late fees.
Taxpayers who are currently delinquent on their tax bills are not without options. The County offers a Delinquent Tax Payment Plan, which provides a viable path forward for those facing financial difficulties. Information on these plans can be accessed through the County’s resources.
It is important to note that county buildings will be closed on February 16 in observance of the federal holiday, and in-person services will not be available that day. For further details on property tax payments and options, visit cuyahogacounty.gov/treasury.
