From press release

Winnebago County Treasurer Susan Goral’s office will be open Friday, June 4, from 7:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. to receive first installment payments of real estate property taxes, due on that date.

Although the Treasurer’s office will be open June 4 until 7 p.m., the Treasurer encourages taxpayers to mail their payments on or before the June 4 due date (postmarks are accepted), or to utilize any of the participating local banks or credit unions to pay their taxes.

Discover Card is the only credit card accepted in the Treasurer’s Office. You can also go to www.winnebagotreasurer.com to pay online, by check or credit card (MasterCard, American Express, Discover or VISA) or you can pay by credit card by calling Illinois E-Pay at 1-877-455-3729. A convenience fee will be charged by Illinois E-Pay when you pay by credit card. You may also pay through Illinois E-Pay by VISA or debit card for a $3.95 fee.

First installments that have not been paid by the June 4 due date will incur a penalty of 1.5 percent per month and cannot be paid at local banks; taxpayers should call the Treasurer’s office at (815) 319-4400 for correct amount due prior to mailing payments after the June 4 due date.

If you did not receive a tax bill this year, and you have not changed your address at the Treasurer’s Office, call (815) 319-4400 to make arrangements to have a form mailed to you, or go to the Treasurer’s Web site at www.winnebagotreasurer.com and print out a change form. Changing your address at the post office will NOT change your mailing address for tax bills.
