Most Door County residents are not waiting to send in checks for their property taxes. Treasurer Jay Zahn says receipts aren’t too far off last year’s pace.

This year, an extension was granted, making the deadline for the second tranche of taxes October 1st, rather than July 31st. Zahn says that it is common for last-minute payments to be processed in August, so there is still a chance that 2020 revenues could begin to slide compared to a year ago. Zahn is in his final year serving as treasurer, and he has been able to share good news with several residents who were unaware of the extension.

Interest penalties are not retroactive this year, meaning that a 1.5 percent monthly fine won’t be backdated to February. Interest will accrue from October 1st moving forward.
