Second Installment of Real Estate Taxes Due September 10

Peoria County Treasurer Branden Martin reminds Peoria County taxpayers that the second installment of real estate taxes is due on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

Taxes are payable in person at the Peoria County Treasurer's office, at most county banks with payment coupon, or to your County Collector located on the front of your tax bill. Taxes may also be paid by mail, by credit card and electronic check online, or via phone. Please note, there is a convenience fee that is charged for an electronic or phone payment.

"We know taxpayers have busy schedules, so we offer several payment options, from in person to online to over the phone," said Treasurer Branden Martin. "No matter which method you choose, be sure your payment is received or postmarked by September 10 to avoid penalties."

The Peoria County Treasurer's Office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. It is located in the Peoria County Courthouse, 324 Main St., Room G-15, Peoria, IL 61602. Parking is limited around the Courthouse due to major construction on downtown roads and the Courthouse Plaza.

Payments made by mail must be postmarked by the post office on or before September 10, 2025. Payments postmarked after this date will be subject to a penalty charge. The appropriate payment stub located on the bottom of the tax bill should accompany the tax payment. Taxpayers should remember to put their parcel number on their check to ensure proper credit.

If a tax bill has been misplaced, lost, or never received, a duplicate bill can be printed online at http://propertytax.peoriacounty.gov/. Failure to receive a tax bill or receiving it late for any reason does not relieve the taxpayer of penalties if not paid by the due date.

Residents with questions concerning address changes, property assessments, and exemptions should be directed to the Supervisor of Assessments Office at (309) 672-6910.
