Today marks the deadline for property owners in Wright County to ensure their second-half property taxes are settled. Wright County Taxpayer Services is reminding residents that payments can be made online, by mail, or in person, as described on their Wright County official website. The e-check option is available for online payments, a convenient choice for those looking to skip the in-person lines.
To meet the Oct. 15 postmark deadline, mailed payments should have been sent to Wright County Taxpayer Services at the address provided. Property owners who missed the mail-in opportunity still have options to settle their accounts - either online or directly at the Taxpayer Services office before closing time. However, a 24-hour drop box is also ready to accept after-hours payments at the Government Center's northwest corner.
Those needing to obtain additional copies of their tax statement can do so by visiting the Property Tax Search/Payments webpage. There, entering a property ID number will grant access to required documentation under the "Tax Statements" tab. And for any lingering queries or for personalized guidance, the folks at Wright County Taxpayer Services have made their helpline available at (763) 682-7578.
It's important to remember that, for those paying with credit cards, a state-mandated convenience fee will be applied. According to the information on Wright County's portal, "State law requires convenience fees be charged to taxpayers who make their property tax payment with a credit card (M.S. 276.02)." Bear in mind, these fees don't contribute to the county's coffers but go straight to the payment processing company.
