Vinton County Treasurer Posts 2026 Tax Collection Notices, First-Half Payment Deadlines

Vinton County Treasurer Vicki Maxwell has published a 2026 tax update on the county website that includes late-payment penalties and mailing guidance for first-half collections. The Treasurer’s page displays the penalty block in all caps: "ATTENTION 5% PENALTY WILL BE ADDED IF NOT PAID BY CLOSING DATE 10% PENALTY WILL BE ADDED 10 DAYS AFTER CLOSING DATE ORC 323.121" and the instruction "IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR TAX BILL BY FEB 12TH, 2026; CONTACT TREASURER OFFICE." The page also lists the prompt "Pay Your Tax Bill Online."

The Treasurer’s notice names Vicki Maxwell as the county contact and provides a direct phone number and email for questions: 740-790-7045 and treasurer@vintoncountyohio.gov. The county courthouse address is listed as 100 E. Main St., McArthur, OH 45651, and the general courthouse/commissioners phone is 740-596-4571. The Vinton County Commissioners' Development Department is at 205 S. Market St., McArthur, OH 45651 with phone 740-596-3529.

The county page shows penalties tied to a "closing date" but does not display a numeric closing date on the Treasurer page excerpt. An external Ohio Property Tax Calculator site summarizes installment timing and lists "For 2026, Vinton County property taxes are due in two semi-annual installments." That site’s table gives the 1st Half due date as March 1, 2026 (covers January–June period) and the 2nd Half due date as July 1, 2026 (covers July–December period). The Ohio Property Tax Calculator also reproduces district effective rates and examples: RICHLAND-VINTON 37.61% - $1,316.39 for a $100,000 home; SWAN VINTON 35.78% - $1,252.32; SWAN-LOGAN CITY 42.27% - $1,479.29; VINTON-VINTON 37.44% - $1,310.36; WILKESVILLE-VINTON 36.48% - $1,276.75; WILKESVILLE CORP 36.48% - $1,276.75.

NoticeRegistry has indexed a separate legal filing titled "Foreclosure of liens for delinquent land taxes in Vinton County" with case reference 24CV0045 and advises readers to "Review the legal notice" and "Contact the County Treasurer — Reach out to Vicki Maxwell's office for questions about the delinquent taxes." The registry also suggests property owners "Check property status — Verify the status of your property and any outstanding taxes by visiting the Recorder's Office." NoticeRegistry’s listing carries its AI-summary disclaimer and is an index of public notices rather than an original court document.

Materials in the research include a municipal debt notice for a different "Village of Vinton" entity: a 2025 debt schedule totaling $595,982 required for debt service and a computed total debt levy of $429,324 after adjustments, certified by Maria O. Pasillas, RTA, City of El Paso Tax Assessor-Collector on 08/07/2025. That municipal notice is separate from Vinton County, Ohio tax administration and is listed here only to avoid conflating similarly named jurisdictions.

Taxpayers who have not received a bill by Feb. 12, 2026 are directed to contact the Treasurer's office at 740-790-7045 or treasurer@vintoncountyohio.gov; the Treasurer page also displays "Pay Your Tax Bill Online." For confirmation of the county’s official closing date used to assess the 5% and 10% penalties under ORC 323.121 and for the county auditor’s official 2026 property tax PDF, the Treasurer’s office and the county auditor remain the definitive contacts.
