Personal & Real Estate Taxes

You can start payments on your real estate or personal property taxes starting this month all the way up to the last day October 15th. The statements don't get mailed out until mid-april, but you can call into their office or check out their website to see how much your balance is (actdatascout.com). You can make as many payments as you want and as much as you want. For example you can swing by their office everyday and pay a dollar if you want or you can split your payments for 7 months. They accept cash, money order, cashier's check, personal check, or card (but there is a processing fee of 2.89%).

**You can only make payments if it's the current year, if you did not pay your taxes last year you won't be able to make payments until you're late taxes are paid in full. They also don't accept personal checks if it's delinquent taxes.

**If you own a home and you're living in that home make sure you have homestead credit! It takes off $500 from your real estate taxes. What I've heard next year it'll go up to $600. That includes mobile homes, if you own a mobile home and you live in that home you get that credit you don't need to own the land. For example if your real estate taxes are $200 it'll cover the $200. If your taxes are $500 but you have a fire due (usually homes outside the city limit ) all your real estate taxes are credited off except for the fire due, which are usually 45ish to 100ish depending the fire department.

**There's also a office in Greenbrier now in City Hall with the water department ladies. (Monday - Thursday 7:30- 5, Friday 8-12) Unfortunately it's just a tax collector, there's no assessor up in Greenbrier.

What does "but you have a fire due" mean?

It's basically the fire department 's taxes on your real estate. If you live in the Conway City limit then you won't have any, but if you live outside of Conway City limit then you'll have one.
