WAYS TO PAY
There are several ways you can pay your CURRENT property tax bill:
By Mail: Please mail the tear off portion of your tax bill along with your check. Make the check payable to "CUYAHOGA COUNTY TREASURER". Your envelope MUST be postmarked by the last day of the collection, otherwise Ohio law requires the assessment of an automatic 10% penalty and interest. The closing date for the collection is on your bill.
Please send checks to:
Cuyahoga County Treasurer
P.O. Box 94547
Cleveland, OH 44101-4547
In Person: The Treasurer's Office is in the County Administration Building, at the corner of Lakeside Boulevard and Ontario Street (across from the Justice Center). The address is 1219 Ontario Street. If you already have a bill, you may go directly to the Cashier's Department (Room 121 on the first floor) to pay. If you do not have a bill, you should call the Taxpayer Services Department at (216)443-7420 or visit that department in Room 111. Our normal office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you pay in person, you must do so by the last day of the collection to avoid an automatic 10% penalty.
