Drop box available for tax payments  Share
Mark A. Carrithers, Lawrence County Treasurer, would like to remind taxpayers that there is a drop box for payments located outside the Treasurer's Office at the Courthouse Annex, 1106 Jefferson St., Lawrenceville. Property taxes can be paid using the drop box by placing payment stub and payment in an envelope and placing it in the drop box. Payments placed in the drop box after closing on the due date will be considered paid on time before the office opens the next day at 9 a.m. Payments that are postmarked on the due date will also be considered as on time payments; no other exceptions will be accepted. Again this year taxes may be paid with a credit card through the Illinois State Treasurer's Office at the Illinois Funds E-Pay site, www.illinoispay.com or by using the Interactive Voice Response System at 1 (877) ILL-EPAY. According to state law, a penalty of one and a half percent per month (or any portion thereof) is added if taxes are not paid on or before the due date. The treasurer's office is also pleased that most of the banks will again be participating in collection of property taxes forthe 2008 payable 2009 collection year.
