At the Tuesday, June 18 meeting of the Medina County Commissioners, County Treasurer John Burke announced a new convenient service for paying property taxes. He pointed out that the second half tax bills mailed last week include a QR code printed in the top right-hand corner which will help taxpayers more quickly access their tax information.
“Taxpayers can scan the QR code with the camera app on their smartphone, open it in a browser as prompted and be directly connected to the Treasurer’s website. The first pop-up page is to accept the terms of use for the website. Just click the “Accept” button and the next pop up is the search page for your tax bill," he explained. Taxpayers can search for their tax bill by using their name, address, or parcel number. Balance due and tax payments can be reviewed. Online payments can be made by electronic check ($1.50 bank/vendor fee) or by credit card, debit card, or PayPal. These add a 2.5% bank/vendor fee on the amount being paid. Burke reported that he only knows of 2 other counties in the State of Ohio that are currently using a QR code on their tax bills. “I think such innovative options improve our service to the taxpayers of Medina County – and that’s why we are here.” MEDINA COUNTY, OHIO – Medina County Treasurer John Burke has announced that 67,566 second half 2023 property tax bills have been mailed to county property owners.

The total dollar amount of real estate taxes billed for the second half is $213,498,838 — an increase of $13,550,231 over the same period last year, Treasurer Burke noted.
