Mahoning County real-estate tax bills have been mailed

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County Treasurer’s Office has mailed first-half real-estate tax bills, for which the payment deadline is March 6.

The bills will be in a new format, and taxpayers will have the option of paying both first and second half taxes now in one payment. Treasurer Dan Yemma is also issuing the “online challenge,” in which a 60-cent convenience fee for electronic check payments will be waived.

Taxes may also be paid in person at the treasurer’s office, 120 Market St., between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Payments may also be made at the Seven Seventeen Credit Union and at Farmer’s National and Cortland banks.
