MONTICELLO, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
Paying property taxes in Drew County just got a lot easier thanks to a
new online payment system offered by tax collector Tonya K. Loveless.
Residents can visit ar.gov/drewtax
and enter or search parcel numbers to begin. The online system prompts
residents through secure payment screens and quickly provides a payment
confirmation and a receipt for taxpayer records. The payment system also
works on mobile phones.
“We are excited to offer this convenient payment option to our taxpayers
who can now avoid standing in line and pay directly on their computers
or mobile phones,” Drew County Tax Collector Tonya K. Loveless said.
“For taxpayers that come into the office, they are able to pay by cash,
cashier’s check, money order or with a credit card. We will accept a
personal check on current taxes only.” Loveless noted that while she
expects the online payment option to be popular, tax payments are still
accepted by mail.
The Drew County Tax Collector partnered with the state’s digital
government service provider, Information Network of Arkansas (INA), to
develop the secure payment system, which ensures privacy, security, and
data integrity. Credit card transactions include a processing fee to
cover the cost of the system, which INA developed for the county free of
charge.
Drew County personal property and real estate taxes are due March 1 and
considered delinquent after October 15. Residents and business owners
can pay their county taxes online at ar.gov/drewtax
with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit card
through a secure payment processing system. Payments can also be made in
person at the Drew County Tax Collector’s office, by phone by calling
866-257-2055 and entering county code 22, or by mail.
