If you wish to pay in person come to the Tax Claim office at the Erie County Courthouse located at 140 West 6th Street, room 110, Monday – Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm (open during the lunch hour), to pay your delinquent property taxes. Taxes can also be paid online per the instructions below. Please note that online payments are subject to additional fees (usually around 3%).
E-Checks are not recommended because the funds are not immediately available and some credit card payments may take 24-48 hours to process fully. If you are paying to avoid certain deadlines, every attempt will be made to process your transaction immediately, but it is not guaranteed.
