Summit County Fiscal Officer-John A. Donofrio-has implemented a payment plan to help homeowners facing difficulty in paying their current real estate tax bill. Homeowners who pay taxes directly to the county are eligible to apply.
This plan is designed for persons who can not afford to pay the current due bill. The plan will help avoid late payment penalties and fines that amount to about 21% of the annual tax bill. A fee of 5% of the total tax bill being paid must accompany the application for enrollment in the TIP.
