Riley County treasurer reminds taxpayers: first-half 2024 taxes due Dec. 20; office closes at noon
Summary
Riley County Treasurer Shiloh Hager reminded residents that first-half real estate and personal property taxes are due Friday, Dec. 20; the office closes at noon and multiple payment options are available, with specified convenience fees and interest rates for delinquency.
Riley County Treasurer Shiloh Hager told the commission on Dec. 16 that first-half 2024 taxes are due Friday, Dec. 20, and that the treasurer’s office will close at noon that day for in-person payments.
Hager listed payment options: in-person payments Monday–Thursday, 7:30 a.m.–5 p.m., or Friday 7:30 a.m.–noon; a courthouse lobby drop box; an after-hours drop box at the building’s front; online payments at www.rileycountyks.gov; and a phone option at 785-377-5385. She said credit and debit card payments carry a 2.5% convenience fee with a $2.95 minimum; electronic checks incur a $1.50 fee.
Hager warned that certain taxes — personal property, intangible taxes, watercraft, and specific truck or oil-related taxes — become due in full with daily interest if unpaid by Dec. 20. She cited the county’s 2025 calendar year interest rates as 14% annually (15% if outstanding real estate taxes exceed $10,000) for real estate, and 9% annually (10% if outstanding personal property exceeds $10,000) for personal property.
The treasurer also said the office offers escrow programs for current or delinquent taxes and provided a phone number for questions. Hager asked taxpayers to ensure contact information on the mailed renditions is accurate and to call the office with questions before deadlines.
