The Vanderburgh County Treasurer’s office issued a reminder today that the fall installment of property taxes must be paid by November 10. The deadline applies to every property owner in the county, from single‑family homeowners to commercial landlords, and timely payment helps keep essential services running smoothly for families across Evansville.
How to pay
Taxpayers have several convenient ways to meet the deadline:
- Drop box: Place your payment in the Treasurer’s drop box located in front of the Civic Center at 1 NW Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Evansville, IN 47708.
- Mail: Send checks or money orders to Vanderburgh County Treasurer, P.O. Box 77, Evansville, IN 47701.

- In‑person: Stop by the Treasurer’s Office, Room 210 of the Civic Center, Monday‑Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Why it matters
Property taxes fund the schools, roads, public safety, and parks that families rely on every day. When payments are made on time, the county can continue to maintain infrastructure, support law‑enforcement staffing, and keep community programs operating without interruption. The Treasurer’s office emphasizes that paying early avoids late‑fee penalties and reduces the administrative burden on county staff, allowing them to focus on serving residents.
