Delaware County Treasurer Ken O’Brien has announced that property tax bills will be available for payment, about one week earlier than usual this year. The approved tax rates were processed as soon as the rates were released by the state’s Department of Taxation, O’Brien explained, which will enable the county to post bills shortly after Jan. 1, 2026. First-half taxes are due by Feb. 10, 2026. Currently, there are 98,060 parcels of property in Delaware County.
“Taxpayers may check the Treasurer’s website after Jan. 1 to access an electronic copy of their tax bill,” O’Brien said. Taxpayers can pay in person at the Treasurer’s office, which is in the Hayes Building at 145 N. Union St. in Delaware and is located on the second floor from the Union Street entrance.
Taxpayers can also pay online through https://treasurer.co.delaware.oh.us/. The cost of an eCheck payment is $0.85 per transaction.
Hard copies of tax bills will be mailed by Jan.15, 2026.
“I would also like to thank Delaware County Auditor George Kaitsa and his staff for assisting with the preparation of the tax rates for use by our office,” O’Brien added.
