Local property and real estate taxes are due

December 31st is the final day to pay your real estate and personal property taxes to avoid penalty. Laclede County Collector Steve Pickering said there are a few options to paying your taxes before the deadline…

If your tax payment isn’t made by midnight December 31st, the cost will add up quickly…

Plus for every month that you don’t pay there is an additional 2 percent interest charge. Again the Laclede County Collector’s Office will be open on December 31st until 4pm. You can also pay your tax bill online at Lacledecollector.com.
