Person County says real estate and personal property bills are mailed in August, due September 1, and normally payable without interest until January 5; past-due property statements accrue 2% for January plus 0.75% each month thereafter. The county lists cash in office, check/money order in office/by mail/drop box, e-check, automatic bank draft, credit/debit card, phone, website, and online bill pay options with processor fees. Verify payoff, delinquency, refund, estate taxpayer, and payment-fee edge cases directly with the tax office before product-facing use.
