The Lucas County Treasurer’s Office offers prepayment options (similar to escrow payments) to help you stay on track and budget throughout the year.

1. TIPP
The basic TIPP plan offers the convenience of paying your taxes in advance, by mail or in person, using pre-printed monthly vouchers.

2. ACHM (Monthly Automatic Withdrawal)
Check back after January 1 2027 for our new program.

These are monthly PRE-PAY programs towards your next upcoming half-year tax bill. Taxes MUST be paid in full to enroll. Depending on when you sign up within the current tax cycle, the system will calculate the amounts based on how many months remain before the next tax due date. Once the new tax cycle begins in February or August, the current half year amount will be divided by 6 monthly payments moving forward.

Cutoff dates and eligibility:

1st Half Tax: The cutoff date to enroll in TIPP is October 10th. Any forms submitted after this date will be entered into the system to begin in February. Your current balance must be zero in order to participate in this program.

2nd Half Tax: The cutoff date to enroll is APRIL 10th. Any forms submitted after this date will be entered into the system to begin in August. Your current balance must be zero in order to participate in this program as well.

Manufactured and mobile homes are not eligible to participate.
