Property owners in Cuyahoga County are reminded that the deadline to pay property taxes is approaching on February 19, 2026. The Cuyahoga County Treasury has made tax bills available for online viewing and payment, providing multiple options for taxpayers to settle their dues promptly.
Tax bills will begin to be mailed out by the end of January. Property owners wishing to get an early start can request a courtesy copy by contacting the Treasurer’s Office directly. To facilitate the payment process, the office will extend its hours from 08:00 to 18:00 on February 17 through February 19, allowing additional time for in-person payments.
For those preferring to pay in person, several venues are available. Payments can be made at the Treasurer’s Office located at the County Administrative Headquarters, as well as through designated drop boxes and select KeyBank locations. Accepted payment methods include cash, checks, money orders, and both credit and debit cards. Taxpayers can also make payments over the phone by calling the dedicated line at 1-877-738-1212.
The convenience of online payments remains a popular choice. Taxpayers can utilize an e-check option at no additional fee, while credit and debit card transactions will incur processing charges. For those looking to manage their payments proactively, the EasyPay program allows for monthly, semiannual, or yearly installments at no extra cost.
It is important for taxpayers to be aware of the evolving practices of the United States Postal Service, particularly regarding postmark dates. Those mailing payments as the deadline approaches should ensure their payments are stamped on time or consider the immediate advantages of digital transactions.
For individuals who may have fallen behind on their tax obligations, the county offers a Delinquent Tax Payment Plan. This initiative provides options for those in arrears to find manageable solutions.
It is worth noting that county buildings will be closed on February 16 in observance of a federal holiday, which may affect in-person payment services. For further information regarding property tax payments, taxpayers can visit the official Cuyahoga County Treasury website at cuyahogacounty.gov/treasury.
