Property tax deadline nears

The Bonner County Treasurer's Office reminds taxpayers that the first half of 2024 property taxes are due Dec. 20, 2024. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The office is located in the Bonner County Administration Building at 1500 Highway 2, Suite 304 (third floor) in Sandpoint. A payment drop box monitored by video surveillance 24/7 is located to the right of the entrance doors. The drop box accepts check payments only. Payment coupons must be included with the payment. If coupons are not available, reference the parcel number(s) on the check.

Mailed payments must be postmarked by Dec. 20 to avoid additional fees. To prevent delays, mail early. Payments postmarked on the due date may not be processed until the following day. Request a hand stamp postmark from the post office. Postage meters are not acceptable postmarks. The mailing address is 1500 Hwy. 2, Suite 304, Sandpoint, ID 83864.

Payments can also be made online or in the office using credit or debit cards or electronic checks. Processing fees apply. For more information, call 208-265-1433.

Payments not made by Dec. 20 will incur a 2% late fee, with interest beginning at 1% monthly starting Jan. 1. Partial payments before the deadline can help reduce interest charges. Mobile homeowners unable to pay should contact the office before Dec. 20 to discuss potential extensions.

For questions, call 208-265-1433.
