Grant Countys treasurer reported Oct. 23 that the 2025 tax roll totals $17,250,403.08, a county-record figure, and that the office will mail approximately 26,607 tax bills this year. The treasurer said each bill includes a QR code linking taxpayers to online payment options to speed transactions.

The treasurer also addressed a national coin-supply issue. He said the Federal Reserve is distributing limited quantities of pennies to banks and that some counties are already asking property owners to pay with exact change or by card because of limited coin availability. The treasurer said his bank has guaranteed adequate coin supply for this year but warned the county is working on legislation with other treasurers to permit rounding of tax bills in future years if coin shortages persist.

The treasurer reminded residents of payment deadlines: first-half property taxes are due Nov. 10 (and no later than Dec. 10), second-half taxes are due April 10 (no later than May 10). Payments can be made in person (8 a.m.-5 p.m.), dropped in the collection box at the administration building, or paid online at the county website for a convenience fee (the office accepts debit cards for a $3.95 fee and credit cards for 2.49% of the transaction).

Why it matters: The tax-roll total and the QR-code initiative change how taxpayers will receive and pay bills; the coin-supply issue could change accepted payment methods or require rounding protocols.

Whats next: The treasurer said he is working with other county treasurers and statewide partners on possible statutory changes to allow rounding if necessary; residents should watch the county website and treasurer communications for updates.
