Treasurer

Real estate payments for 2022 are no longer accepted in our office or on our website. Our tax sale was November 7, 2023.   If you have not paid your taxes you will need to contact the Winnebago County Clerks office at 815-319-4253. A tax buyer paid your taxes for you and attached a percentage rate. You will have a period of 2.5 years to redeem your taxes. Within that 2.5-year period the interest rate will increase every six months. It is to your best interest to redeem (pay back) your taxes as soon as possible.

The purpose of the Treasurer's Office is to assist taxpayers of Winnebago County, collect funds and distribute to the taxing districts throughout the year. The office has many other duties outside of property and mobile taxes.

Additionally, we accept payments for miscellaneous county fines and deferred prosecution, as well as register, process, call and balance our annual tax sale. Susan J.
