Pre-Paying Your Real Estate Taxes

The Livingston County Treasurer is advising property owners of the availability of pre-paying your real estate taxes. The ability to pre-pay up to 70% of the prior year tax amount has been available for several years. Due to the changes in Federal Income Tax regulations we have noticed an increase in requests for this service. In response to those inquiries we have developed an application form we want property owners to complete and bring to our office with their payment or mail with a check. The form will become a part of our permanent records and insure that payments are applied correctly. Please contact our office at (815) 844-2306 if there are any questions.
