Clerk of court: first-half tax bills to mail soon; new online payment vendor adds QR-code payment option
Summary
Clerk of court Mike Patterson told commissioners first-half tax bills will be mailed soon; the county has switched online payment vendors and tax bills will include a QR code linking directly to parcel payment pages. The first-half due date is March 2, 2025.
Mike Patterson, clerk of court, notified the Lawrence County Commissioners on Jan. 28 that first-half tax bills will be mailed soon and that the county has switched its online payment vendor. New tax bills will include a QR code that links directly to the parcel payment page for online payments. The clerk said the first-half payment due date is March 2, 2025.
Why it matters: The change is intended to simplify electronic payment for taxpayers; the clerk reported the county is already receiving online payments under the new vendor.
Discussion: Commissioners and staff noted the new process should reduce payment confusion; one commissioner referenced having paid twice under the prior system as an example of a user-experience problem the new vendor should mitigate.
Ending: The county will mail first-half tax bills and taxpayers should see a QR code on their bill to initiate online payments; the deadline for the first-half payment is March 2, 2025.
