Tax Bills

Tax Bills

The summer tax bill is posted per City Charter the second Monday in May each year. Summer taxes not paid by June 30th are assessed a 5% penalty and applied to the winter bill. 

Winter bills are sent out at the beginning of December and are due February 14. A penalty is assessed against unpaid taxes and they are turned over to the Monroe County Treasurer in March. The City of Monroe cannot accept property tax payments after the delinquent property tax has been turned over to the County.
