The County of Warren operates on a twice-a-year billing schedule with the payment of the first half of taxes due by June 5th and the payment of the second half due by December 5th. A late payment penalty of 10% is added on June 6th and December 6th with interest accruing at 10% per year starting July 1st and/or January 1st. Any payment postmarked before the deadline will be accepted without penalty. Failure to receive a tax bill will not relieve the penalty and interest charge that will be applied to all past due bills.
