The Town of Kearney sends out two tax bills a year. The interim tax bill is mailed out by the end of February and is payable in two installments of March 27th and May 27th. The interim tax bill is calculated using 50% of your prior year tax levy. The final tax bill is mailed out by the end of July and is payable in two installments of August 27th and October 27th.
As of September 1, 2022, a late payment penalty of 1.25% will be applied to all tax arrears on the 1st of the month. (*Failure to receive your Tax Notice does not relieve you from incurring penalty charges for late payment, as it is your responsibility to ensure taxes are paid on time*.)
To avoid accumulating late charges, please ensure your payment is received at the office by the installment due date. If you are paying by internet banking, please allow 3-5 days prior to the due date for the bank to process your payment. Interest begins accumulating on the first day after a missed installment payment.
