URBANA - Champaign County property owners who still owe 2026 real estate taxes have until Thursday, Oct. 29, to pay and avoid the county's tax sale on Friday, Oct. 30, according to a notice on the county's property tax lookup site.
Payments made after Sept. 30 must be made in person at the Treasurer/Collector's Office with cash, a cashier's check or a money order, the notice says. The two installments were due June 3 and Sept. 3.
Not receiving a tax bill, or receiving it late, does not relieve a taxpayer of penalties, according to the notice. The county's treasurer and collector is Byron Clark, according to the treasurer's page.
