Escrow payment status

A tax statement watermarked “IN ESCROW” means a lender has requested the billing. If the taxpayer is still responsible for the bill, the statement may be used to pay the Johnson County Treasurer directly.

For escrow account questions, contact the mortgage company or escrow agent. If an escrow account was recently closed, contact the Treasurer’s Office.

Use the county’s Escrow information page for Johnson County property tax escrow guidance.

Tax sale certification and surplus vouchers

Delinquent Johnson County properties are certified for tax sale no later than July 1 each year. The annual tax sale is typically held in September or October. Payment information for properties certified for tax sale should be obtained from the Treasurer’s Office.

Surplus vouchers are generated every January and July. A surplus can occur when payment exceeds the property tax billed, but a surplus does not occur until both spring and fall installments are paid.

Review the county’s surplus voucher requirements before claiming an overpayment. Proof of payment may include a cancelled check, bank statement, credit card statement, cash receipt, Form 1098, or settlement statement.

Mailing address changes and homestead deduction forms

Johnson County provides a Change of Mailing Address service through the Treasurer’s page. Users can also find property tax deduction services through the county services index.

For a Homestead Deduction application, the county’s instructions direct users to search their property in Beacon, open the property summary, and use the “APPLY FOR HOMESTEAD DEDUCTION” link. The instructions state that refinancing a mortgage usually does not require refiling; refiling is tied to a change in the actual deed to the property.

Use the Change of Mailing Address page for mailing address updates.
