The Monroe County Collector of Revenue is the elected official who is responsible for the collection of current and delinquent property taxes for the county and various political subdivisions within the county, which have authorized property tax levies. The collector must use any legal means to collect delinquent taxes.

The Collector is responsible for the accounting and distribution of collection for tax entities such as schools, roads, cities, library and fire districts. The collector also collects merchant license fees. Tax records are maintained and held for public use within the collector's office.

Responsibilities

  • The primary function of the County Collector is the collection of personal and real estate taxes for the various taxing entities of the county.
  • Prepares separate tax statements for: Personal Property (cars, trucks, boats, etc.); Real Estate (residential, commercial, agricultural); Utilities(railroad, electric, gas lines, etc.).

Office Information

    Real estate and personal property tax are levied anually and due December 31st each year. The postmark determines the timeliness of payment. The Collector's office mails tax bills during November of each year. If a tax bill is not received by the second week in December, contact the collector's office at (877) 433-3061 Ext. 405. Failure to receive a tax bill does NOT relieve the obligation to pay taxes and the applicable late fees. Taxes not paid in full on or before December 31st will accrue penalties, which can be as high as 25% during the first year of delinquency. There is a gray drop box located at the south door of the Monroe County Courthouse to allow taxpayers the convenience of paying their taxes after hours and a paid receipt will be mailed to them. Payment may be made either online or in the office with cash, personal check or money order. Duplicate paid tax receipts are available from the collector for $1.00 each and may be obtained in person or by mail.
