Paying Taxes In Person

To pay in person, you may bring your payment to the Tax Office in the Polk County Courthouse. Office hours are 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. We are closed during the noon hour. There is a 2.49% convenience fee to pay by credit card with a minimum payment amount of $2.50. To use your debit card in person, there is a $2.50 flat fee. You can make a full or partial payment against your tax balance.

Polk County Courthouse Address:
850 Main St, Second Floor Dallas, OR 

You can pay at the tax office counter or by using the secure drop box at the north side of the Jefferson Street Courthouse entrance (located just before the Clerk's election ballot drop box).

Warning: if a double payment is accidentally made, the County will refund the property tax amount, but not the convenience fee. Neither the credit card fee nor the electronic check fee is received by the County. If an electronic check transaction is processed against an account with insufficient funds, a $30.00 NSF check charge will be applied to the property tax account.

Payments must be received or postmarked on or before November 15th to be eligible for a discount.
