Real Estate Taxes / Personal Property Taxes

For the Town of Orion, property taxes are due in two installments, with the first payment due by January 31st and the second by July 31st. As the deadline approaches, it’s essential to ensure timely payment to support local services and avoid any late fees.

Late Penalty is 1% interest each month on the unpaid balance until paid in full.

New for this year, The Town of Orion allows payments online through an internet interface with Value Payment Systems (VPS), LLC. The payment options of E-Checks, Debit Cards and Credit Cards are allowed through VPS. This service will be turned off after the grace period for first installments. VPS charges a convenience fee to process these payments. This fee is paid directly to VPS and Richland County nor the municipality does not receive any portion of this fee.

To pay taxes online, you will need to know your parcel numbers and amounts which can be found by clicking LandNavPortal.

Be sure to select the correct “Tax Year” below Owner Information. There is an instructions guide for how to make payments on the Public Portal Homepage.

Convenience Fees:

E-Checks = $1.50

Credit Cars = 2.95% (Minimum of $2.95) on an unlimited number of parcels.

Debit Cars = 1.5%

E-Checks are Electronic checks so you will need your checking account number and routing number, not Debit Card number.

Example: If payment is for $500.00 the convenience fee would be $14.75. Example: If payment is for $500.00 the convenience fee would be $7.50.
