What to do when a Johnston tax payment or account looks wrong
Keep your confirmation and contact Tax Collection with the account information and payment date.
Try another supported search field such as owner name, parcel location, account number, MBLU or plat and lot.
Do not dispute the valuation with the payment portal. Contact the Tax Assessor about assessment records or appeal procedures.
Verify the current balance with Tax Collection before sending money or assuming an old balance is still accurate.
Separate a payment issue from a property-record issue. Ask the Assessor which record needs updating.
Calling can be more practical than waiting for email; the Town asks users to allow 1–2 business days for an email response.
