With the end of the 2013 quickly approaching fm92 spoke with Bates County Treasurer Jim Platt regarding the holidays and the December 31st deadline.The treasurer’s office will be closed December 24th and December 25th for Christmas but will be open all day December 31st for you to pay your Bates County personal and property taxes. His office will close at 4:30pm on December 31st.
The treasurer’s office also has a metal drop box in front of the License Bureau for your convenience and you will be able to use that drop box only until until midnight December 31st.
If you choose to mail your check it must be postmarked December 31st to avoid a penalty. Be safe and take your envelope into the Post Office and give it directly to the person behind the counter and ask them to make sure it’s postmarked December 31st.
Many different ways to avoid paying a penalty this year.
