Checks mailed in to pay property taxes are being processed as they come in, according to the Hays County Tax Assessor.
Many submitted payments have not been cashed leaving some in the public concerned with the delinquent date of Feb.1, which is fast approaching. Marian Oles, a local business owner, said she sent in two personal property tax payment checks and three business property tax payment checks on Dec. 29. She said the majority of them were cashed by the county on Jan. 29, but two checks still have not been cashed. She knows she is not alone in experiencing the issue.
“The biggest thing that was concerning me … is basically that I didn’t want a late payment fee,” Oles said, adding that she isn’t certain if they have received the checks or if they were lost in the mail. “The only way you know if they have it is if they cashed it.”
