Sarpy County real estate taxes are levied in arrears. For example, the 2008 taxes are levied at the end of 2008 and become due on the last day of 2008.  They are normally payable in 2009 by whoever owns the property in 2009 and not by the people who owned it in 2008.  If you buy the property in the middle of 2009 you will normally pay one half of the "2008" taxes. 

The first half becomes delinquent April 1, 2009 and the second half August 1, 2009.  The term "due" only means you may pay them in 2008 and claim them on your 2008 tax return, if you itemize.  You can pay each half BEFORE April 1 and August 1 respectively without penalty. 

If you do not pay on time interest will be computed on a daily basis using an annual rate of fourteen percent.  Minimum payment is one half the years tax plus accrued delinquent interest.  Interest continues to accrue until payment is made.

Only one tax statement is send out per year in approximately the middle of December.  

Please mark your calendar.  First half and second half reminder notices are NOT sent.

Payment options:  We only accept cash or check at the counter.  If you want to charge your taxes (approximately 3% fee) or pay by e-check ($3) select:   PAYONLINE
