2026 fiscal calendar
Know the tax date before it becomes a penalty date.
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The verified record below separates published figures from dates that require confirmation with Randolph County Tax Department.
Effective rate
2026-2027 county rate: $0.50 per $100; municipal, school, and fire-district rates vary by property.
Statement mailing
July 2026; Randolph County states tax bills are normally mailed during July after rates are set.
Payment deadline
2026 taxes due September 1, 2026; 2% interest begins January 6, 2027 and enforcement begins promptly January 6; the county also offers a 2% July-August early-payment discount.
Valuation protest
Randolph County published a 2026 BOER notice and appeal form, but the exact adjournment date could not be verified from the official PDF; real-property appeals must be made before adjournment and requests should be mailed in January or February.
Critical payment warning
Do not assume a grace period.
The verified county record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat the published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
Read the calendar in order
From assessment to collection
1. Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
2. Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
3. Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
