Clallam County Treasurer Selinda Barkhuis reminds the taxpayers of Clallam County that the second half property taxes for 2016 are due by Monday, Oct. 31.

Property tax payments must be postmarked or dropped off at the Clallam County Courthouse by that date. Be aware that mail dropped in a U.S. postal mailbox after the post office pick-up time may result in a postmark of Nov. 1 and will be considered delinquent.

Payments also can be placed in the gray drop box in the drive-through circle in front of the courthouse on Fourth Street in Port Angeles.

The Treasurer’s Office can accept most credit and debit cards, either at the Treasurer’s Office counter or online at http://www.clallam.net/Treasurer. A convenience fee will be charged by the credit and/or debit card provider.

Payments postmarked or dropped off at the courthouse after Oct. 31 are delinquent and subject to 1-percent delinquent interest. On Dec. 1, an additional 1 percent interest and 8 percent penalty will be charged.
