Important Change!
2nd half taxes are now due May 10th
Tax Bills are mailed in early to mid November. The first half of taxes is due by December 20th. If the first half is not paid by then it begins to accrue interest. If the first half is paid by December 20th, the second half will be due by May 10th of the following year.
Payment Methods
We accept cash, check or money order. Please make checks payable to the Marshall County Treasurer. Please include the appropriate stub from your tax statement showing your Tax ID number. You will receive a receipt by mail.
Now we are also offering Online payments, which can be accessed over the web or by dialing 1-800-272-9829.
Real Estate Taxes
After December 20th and before May 10th, the first half payment plus interest can be paid. If payment is not made by May 10th, the full tax plus interest must be paid. There is no longer the option of paying just the first half. If you have not paid your taxes by the due dates, please contact our office before paying your taxes for current amount due as interest now applies (9% simple interest) and it changes daily. We will be sending out reminder letters after both due dates. Real estate taxes not paid by August 1st will be published and that cost is added to the amount due.
Publication of Delinquent Real Estate Tax
Prior to current year delinquent taxes being put in the delinquent records of the Marshall County Treasurer, they are published in the official county newspaper (designated by the Board of County Commissioners) for three consecutive weeks in August in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 79-2301 to 79-2323a.
If taxes are due and unpaid for three years, the property is subject to a Tax Foreclosure suit by the County. The property can then be sold at public auction. Anyone that has delinquent real estate taxes in the County cannot bid at these auctions.
Personal Property Taxes
The first half tax must be paid by December 20th. After that date, the full amount of Personal Property taxes are due plus interest. Full unpaid personal property taxes are sent to the Sheriff for collection in February. If the first half taxes are paid in December, the second half is due May 10th. Second half unpaid personal property taxes are sent to the Sheriff for collection in July.
Publication of Delinquent Personal Property Tax
Personal Property taxes that are unpaid October 1 of the current tax year are published in compliance with K.S.A. 19-547 for three consecutive weeks in October in the official county newspaper.
Intangible Taxes
The intangible tax is a tax on interest and dividends that is filed with your Kansas Income Tax, Form 200. The information is forwarded to the County Clerk for taxing purposes. Some cities and township do not tax intangibles. The intangible tax is considered personal property tax for governing statutes.
Mortgage Company Payments
If you have an escrow account for your real estate taxes with a mortgage company, the mortgage company should receive the tax statement. The mortgage companies notify our office of which tax statements they have escrow accounts. If you do receive the tax statement, we ask that you forward the statement to your mortgage company for them to make payment from your account. Either you or the mortgage company should notify the Treasurer’s office of the correct address to mail the statement. Mortgage companies are required by Federal Law to make half payments, so they will be paying the taxes on or before December 20 and May 10th. If you prefer that they pay the taxes in full in December you can make the request to them. Tax information sheets are mailed to the homeowner rather than the mortgage company. If you receive a past due notice, please contact your mortgage company first, then call our office at 785-562-5363.
