COLLECTION
The Collections Department collects and accounts for approximately $870 million in tax revenues for more than 60 taxing jurisdictions, such as cities, school districts, etc., located within Jackson County.
Depending on the time of year, our staff assists more than 20,000 taxpayers monthly.
The Delinquent Tax Unit pursues collection of property taxes on approximately 50,000 delinquent accounts, prepares the annual delinquent tax suit and coordinates the subsequent sale.
The Cash Receipts Unit collects, deposits, and records all County revenue.
Jackson County offers Senior Citizens a "Quad Payment Program" to spread their County real estate tax bills over four payments. CLICK HERE to learn more about this option for seniors.
