The Lorain County Treasurer’s Office offers a monthly installment plan designed to assist taxpayers in budgeting their semi-annual real estate tax bills.

Here’s how it works

The Prepayment Plan provides for monthly payment of current (no delinquencies) semi-annual real estate taxes.

The Taxpayer must enter into a Real Estate Escrow Agreement with the Treasurer’s Office which lays out the terms and conditions of the programs. This information will be mailed to you upon receipt of the application.

The Treasurer’s Office will determine the monthly payment by dividing the current year’s semi-annual real estate tax into equal monthly payments based on a 10-month cycle.

Monthly coupons which represent an estimated monthly payment are prepared and provided to the taxpayer.

Payments will be accepted in amounts greater or lesser than the estimated amount. Monthly payments can be made at the taxpayers convenience, in person or by mail to the Lorain County Treasurer’s Office only.

Payments may only be made at the Treasurer’s Office by cash, check or money order.

Prior to the due date of each half of real estate taxes, the taxpayer will receive a tax bill reflecting any balance due and unpaid. Any unpaid balance must be paid in full, on or before the due date to avoid a late penalty fee.

Failure to use coupons as scheduled will remove you from the Escrow Plan.

This is an option program for payment of current real estate taxes.

Example of payment schedule:

2nd Half
March – coupon
April – coupon
May – coupon
June – coupon
July – balance of bill

1st Half
October – coupon
November – coupon
December – coupon
January – coupon
February – balance of bill

No Service Charges.
