Essential operations, such as collecting property tax dollars, will continue without interruption.

“The treasurer’s office is still open for business during the COVID-19 pandemic, but how we interact with the public is changing. We ask people to please stay home and interact with our office by email, phone or by mail. Payments should be made online at www.mctreasurer.org, or mailed in,” Joseph said in a statement released Monday.

The treasurer’s office will scale back its public-facing operations until at least March 31.

Here’s what that means for customers:

  • The office will remain open to accept payments, but you are encouraged to make payments online whenever possible
  • Property tax payments should be made at www.mctreasurer.org. Payments can be made by credit card, debit card, or e-check.
  • If you are unable to make payments online, pay by mail with a check or money order.
  • Please avoid paying in-person if at all possible.
  • The office's taxpayer services and delinquency departments will be closing to the public and will take requests by phone or email.
  • Property tax questions? Email Taxpayer-Services@mcohio.org or calling (937) 225-4010, option 1.
  • Questions about delinquent property taxes? Email Delinquency@mcohio.org or call 937-225-4010, option 2.

“Our work here will continue, but in a safer environment for our employees while protecting public health, Joseph said.

The office will continue to monitor directives from the state and from Public Health and will adjust operations as needed.
