Place your check or money order (do not send cash in the mail) in the return envelope along with the tear-off payment stub from the bill. Affix proper postage and mail. Real Estate and Manufactured Home bills are mailed to taxpayers about four weeks before the payment due date.
All mail received with a U.S. Postal cancellation date of the due date or prior will be accepted without penalty. All payments received with a cancellation date that is after the due date will be subject to a penalty as required by state law.
Your canceled check will serve as your receipt, however, if you would like a receipt, return the entire bill with your payment and include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. An officially stamped receipt will be sent back to you.
Payments may be made at the Ross County Treasurer's office in the Ross County Courthouse located at the corner of Paint and Main Streets in downtown Chillicothe. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. The office will stay open until 6 p.m. during the final week of real estate tax collections.
Payment may also be made outside of normal business hours by using the Payment Drop Box
Payments made after the due date will be subject to a penalty as required by state law.
