OLATHE, Kan. – Johnson County residents will have a shorter time period than normal to pay their property tax bills.
On Monday county workers discovered that the return envelopes had a different address than the one printed on the payment statement.
Mick Letcher, the county treasurer, says they made the discovery after 10,000 bills were mailed.
The county will mail a total of 195,000.
Residents can expect to get their bills in the first week of December. The statements would usually arrive by the middle of November.
Letcher says this year they are working with a new vendor, Myriad Systems out of Oklahoma City.
"The company is absorbing the cost of all the re-mailings that they are doing. This will be at no cost tot he county tax payers,” says Letcher.
They are still trying to determine how to handle the bills that were already mailed.
The first half of the tax payments is due on Dec. 21. The deadline will not be extended.
