Cuyahoga County Offers Drive-Up Tax Service

Cuyahoga County residents can now pay their property taxes without even getting out of the car. With the deadline to make payments coming up on Wednesday, the drop-off service will be available until 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Employees will be stationed outside of the county treasurer’s offices at 1219 Ontario St. Residents must pay by check to use this service.

“This is one of the ways we are improving customer service to ensure that taxpayers have a better experience,” County Executive Ed FitzGerald said in a news release. “This drive-through service proved popular when we offered it in January, so we are going to give it another try.”

To pay online, visit www.treasurer.cuyahogacounty.us any time. To pay by cash, credit card or check, visit the treasurer’s office between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Residents can also drop off checks at auto title bureau offices in the county:

• 1261 Superior Ave. in Cleveland

• 5069 Great Northern Plaza in North Olmsted

• 12100 Snow Road, Suite 15 in Parma

• 21100 Southgate Park Blvd, Suite 101 in Maple Heights

All property tax payments for the second half of 2010 are due by midnight Wednesday. Payments made after that deadline are subject to a penalty of up to 10 percent. For more information, or to learn more about payment plans, call 216-443-7420 to speak with a taxpayer service representative.
