Property taxes are usually due and payable in two installments and often become due in the fall of each year.  Example: Taxes are commonly due in September and November, although this may vary each year.  We will post these dates as soon as they become available.

Property taxes can be paid in the office, online, by phone, or by mail.  Our office location is 323 E. Main St., Carmi, IL.  You can pay on this website with a debit card, credit card or checking account by clicking the TAX PAYMENT tab.  To make a payment by phone, you can call (618) 266-8211.  Payments can also be mailed to PO Box 369, Carmi, IL 62821. Payments must be postmarked by the due date to avoid penalties or interest.  Please include the stubs from the tax bill.  WE TYPICALLY ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS, MONEY ORDERS, CASHIERS CHECKS, CASH , & DEBIT/ CREDIT CARDS.

If your bill says you owe $0 then you dont need to contact anyone or pay anything. Remember, oil is assessed two years behind. For example, 2023 production will be payable in 2025.  If the oil well does not have enough production to generate a tax bill then the bill will be $0.

If you don’t pay your taxes on time, your property will go to TAX SALE and you could be subject to additional penalties, costs, and interest.  After so many years of non-payment you could potentially lose your property.
