A Few Reminders From The Douglas County Tax Collection Office:
- Reminder: To receive the 3% discount, payment in full must be received or post marked by November 15, 2021. To avoid interest and penalties, the first trimester payment must be paid by November 15, 2021. The second trimester is due February 15, 2022 and the third trimester is due May 16, 2022.
- Reminder: Our payment mailing address changed last year, make sure to update your online bill pay information.
- Reminder: The Reedsport Umpqua Bank branch is no longer accepting tax payments.
- Reminder: Due to changes with the US Postal Service, mail is often transported out of town for processing and postmark. Be sure to mail your tax payment early or take your payment envelope into the Post Office to receive an official “hand stamped local postmark”, to avoid late penalties and loss of discount.
