Ashland County Treasurer Angie McQuillen said she has been fielding calls and visits from county residents concerned because they haven’t received their property tax mailings.
She said “numerous” people haven’t gotten them. But, she couldn’t give an exact number of calls or visitors who’ve reached out to her office about not receiving their mailings.
The first half of real estate taxes for 2024 are still due March 5. They are due whether the bill has been received in the mail or not, McQuillen said.
How to contact the treasurer’s office
The treasurer’s office is located in the Ashland County Courthouse, at 142 W. 2nd St.
McQuillen’s office can also be reached by dialing 419-282-4236.
The treasurer’s office is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
McQuillen encouraged anyone who hasn’t received their property tax mailings to either call her office or pay her a visit in person. Then, she can help them get their bills.
The Ashland County treasurer’s office uses an outside company to print and mail the bills.
McQuillen said they’ve never had an issue with that method before. The bills were mailed out in January.
Naddia Dhalai, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service, said it takes between one and five business days to deliver First Class mail.
“If customers are experiencing issues, they can visit usps.com and click on “Contact us” at the bottom of our homepage, or utilize this direct web address: https://usps.force.com/emailus/s/,” Dhalai said.
“Customers may also request assistance through the official X account of the United States Postal Service @USPSHelp or private message on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/USPS.”
This isn’t the first issue Ashland County has seen with the U.S. Postal Service. Ninety county residents were disenfranchised in November 2023 after their mail-in ballots were delivered too late to be counted.
