Delinquent Installment Payment Plans
Under Ohio law, an owner-occupier of real property (a home or manufactured home) in Lucas County with delinquent real estate taxes may qualify for a delinquent installment payment plan (DIPP). By complying with the terms of the payment plan contract, a taxpayer can save the cost of penalties and interest during the plan's duration and also avoid the risk of tax foreclosure.
A delinquent installment payment plan requires:
You own and occupy the residential property,
a 20% down payment, and
no prior defaults or delinquencies.
Subsequent installments are calculated to simultaneously pay both the ongoing current tax bills and the delinquency within 24 months and will not be issued during the ten-day period following a real estate tax due date.
If you believe you are eligible for a delinquent installment payment plan and require further information, please launch the application below:
Request for Exception to DIPP Policy
If you do not meet the Treasurer’s Delinquent Payment Plan Eligibility Guidelines but would like the Treasurer’s Office to review your case for possible plan approval or alternative options, please launch the DIPP Exception Request below.
In most cases the Treasurer’s Office will review Exception Requests and reply with an approval or rejection within ten business days. Taxpayers deemed ineligible for a delinquent payment plan are strongly encouraged to make payments in order to lessen the risk of foreclosure and reduce the cost of penalties and interest.
