Treasurer Craig Greulich issued a reminder to Dubois County residents that the fall tax installment is due Monday, Nov. 10. Taxpayers can meet the deadline through multiple channels, including online, by phone, by mail, via the drop box at the courthouse’s east entrance, or in person during regular hours.
Payments made in person are accepted at the courthouse between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Card transactions will incur a 2.5 percent fee, while electronic checks (e‑checks) carry a $1.50 fee. The variety of payment methods offers residents flexibility but also different cost implications; those seeking the lowest out-of-pocket charge will likely prefer e‑checks over card payments.
The county has rolled out new security measures at the courthouse that include metal detectors and bag scanners. These devices apply to visitors entering courthouse facilities and are intended to increase public safety. Residents planning to pay in person or conduct other business at the courthouse should expect potential delays at entry and allow extra time for processing when they arrive.
The east entrance drop box remains available as an option for those who wish to avoid entering the building. Using the drop box or the online and phone payment options may be more convenient for residents who want to avoid the entry screening or minimize wait times. Mail payments remain an option for those who prefer to send checks, subject to postal delivery times.
For local residents, the reminder has several practical implications. Meeting the Nov. 10 deadline ensures tax accounts remain current and helps county administrative processes run smoothly. The choice of payment method will affect transaction costs and convenience; households and small businesses should weigh fees and timing when choosing how to pay. Those who must visit the courthouse in person should plan for the new security screening and the courthouse’s 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in-person hours.
The treasurer’s notice underscores routine but important civic responsibility: timely payment and awareness of procedural changes at county facilities. With the combination of multiple payment channels and enhanced courthouse security, residents have options to meet the deadline while accommodating safety measures now in place.
