Notice of Possible Tax Adjustment Recent legislation has established an inflation cap for certain property value increases that may impact your tax bill. However, due to the legislation's effective date, adjustments could not be incorporated into the first-half tax bills. As a result your second-half tax bill may be adjusted if your parcel(s) meet applicable critrea. Please note that not all parcels are eligible for the credit. If you pay your full-year tax bill, your final amount may be revised by the second half collection. Any resulting overpayment will be issued to you as a credit or refund to your account.

United States Postal Service Postmark Policy Change The USPS has changed its postmark application policy and as a result the postmark will no longer be applied upon mail item drop-off at the post office. The postmark will be applied at the first processing of that item at a mail sorting facility. You may request a manually applied postmark upon drop-off. Please plan accordingly as Ohio law requires the use of the postmark to determine timely receipt of the payment.

Tax Payment Check Processing The return envelope provided with your tax bill addressed to P. O. Box 2058, Mt. Vernon are correct and legitimate. This is a result of the County Commissioners contracting with Park National Bank as the counties new financial depository institution per ORC 135.33. Park National Bank processes bulk check payments for various companies as well as Muskingum County at their processing facility in Mt. Vernon.
