Due Dates | Adams County Government

Property Taxes are due January 1st for the previous year. Payment may be paid in two equal installments or in one full installment.

HALF PAYMENT OPTION

First Half Payment Due February 28

Second Half Payment Due June 15

FULL PAYMENT OPTION

Full Payment Due April 30

Only HALF or FULL payments will be accepted. Partial payments are not accepted.

When the tax amount is twenty-five dollars ($25.00) or less, the half-payment option does not apply, therefore a single payment must be received by the full payment date.

Payments bearing U.S. postmarks reflective of these dates are acceptable. If your payment is postmarked after the deadline date, delinquent interest is added to the tax amount. Click here for more information on Delinquent Interest.
