Knox County residents will need to wait longer than usual for their 2025 property tax bills.

Knox County Treasurer Robin E. Davis said tax bills—payable in 2026—have not yet been mailed because the Knox County Clerk has not completed the required “extension process,” which determines tax rates for each district. State law prevents the Treasurer’s Office from issuing bills until that step is finished.

Once the finalized data is received, the Treasurer’s Office expects to mail bills within about three weeks.

The delay will also push back payment deadlines. The first installment will be due at least 30 days after bills are mailed, giving taxpayers the required time to pay.

Despite the delay, the Treasurer’s Office said it plans to distribute funds to schools and other local taxing bodies as soon as collections begin, aiming to reduce financial strain on those entities.

A follow-up announcement with specific mailing and due dates will be released once the Clerk completes the process.
