Harrison County Tax Collector mailing new property tax statements to residents

The Harrison County Tax Collector is mailing a newer version of property tax statements to residents.

The taxpayers should receive them in the mail the first week of December and they are due by February 1st 2024 to avoid interest.

The newer version allows the tax collector to put more information including a QR code.

The goal is to improve performance and efficiency by using new technology. In the future they plan to scan the bar code at the bottom of the statement.

The scanner will separate the statement from the check. The program will process the statements, add the checks and give us a report therefore cutting down on errors and give the tax collector more time with the taxpayers on the front line. This will cut down on mail fees as well since they will group code and more can go into the same envelope verses mailing out individually.

This is the new way Harrison County is sending them. This is not state wide. All counties don’t process the same way.
