HELPFUL HINTS to expedite the transaction process:

Please bring your statements with you!

If your personal property statement is not correct, please see the assessor’s office first. 

If you purchased or sold real estate this year and are unclear who is to pay the taxes, please consult your title company or your closing documents.

Finally, in reference to the senior tax credit, SB190, the Commission is working on a process and a plan to implement the new law.  The information will be coming soon, but it does not apply to the 2023 tax season.

We hope the changes we have made are beneficial to the citizens of Howell County.

We appreciate your patience and kindness during tax season!  

Janet Crow,

Howell County Collector
