Property tax bills and due dates

Porter County mails property tax bills in April to taxpayers who are not eNotice subscribers. Each bill includes a summary for the taxpayer’s records and remittance coupons for the spring and fall installments.

Payment options and fees

Porter County accepts several property tax payment methods. The right option depends on whether you want to pay online, by phone, by mail, or in person.

For ACH or e-check transactions, an “Approved” status means the transaction was received for processing. The bank can still return or reject the payment after submission.

Tax sale and redemption issues

If a property is delinquent for three or more installments, it may be eligible for Tax Sale. Tax Sales are generally held in the fall, and certain unsold properties may later be offered through a Certificate Sale.

Before a Tax Sale, delinquent taxes, penalties, and fees must be paid with certified funds to the Porter County Treasurer to remove the property from sale. Taxpayers may also ask the Treasurer about qualifications for a Tax Sale Payment Plan.

If a property has already been sold at Tax Sale, redemption must be completed within one year of the Tax Sale date. If the property was not sold and the County intends to pursue title, redemption must be completed within 120 days of the Tax Sale date. If the property is later sold at Certificate Sale, redemption must be completed within 120 days of the Certificate Sale date.
