UPDATE: Cuyahoga County Property Taxes Due January 23rd (Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights Due January 30th)

Leave a Comment

Reminder to pay your semi-annual property taxes by January 30th January 23rd.

Update 2: Due to a clerical error, Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights residents’ taxes are due January 30th while the rest of the counties’ taxes are due January 23rd. According to the Tresurer’s website:

Attention Taxpayers: The Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office has been alerted that taxpayers in the cities of Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, and East Cleveland have received tax bills that do not include special assessments that were omitted from the original bill. If you have a mortgage, your lender is being alerted regarding the issue. If you pay your own tax bill, revised tax bills will be mailed to you. If you have already paid your tax bill, please remit only the amount owed for the special assessments to the Cuyahoga County Treasurer on or before January 30, 2020. Please call the Special Assessment Department at 216-698-3161 if additional information is needed.

The Fiscal Office apologizes for the inconvenience this omission may have caused.

Update: Local Jewish News may have incorrectly stated the date based on the following Cuyahoga County website (see screenshot): https://treasurer.cuyahogacounty.us/en-US/real-estate-taxes.aspx. Readers have pointed out that the tax bills state January 23rd not January 30th as stated on the website.
