Saturday is the deadline for paying your 2014 property taxes. However, with the date falling on the weekend, Shelby County Tax Assessor-Collector Debora Riley says they will accept payment through Monday without penalty. But, of course if you wait past Monday, it's going to cost you some more.

Ms. Riley says property tax payments can be done by cash, check, credit card, which will cost you a 2.5 percent service fee from the company, or can even be done electronically any time, day or night by going to www.certifiedpayments.net and enter the Shelby County code 1242857.

Keep in mind penalties will increase 2 percent per month until it reaches 18 percent by July 1, in addition to attorney fees. Ms. Riley says they will mail out a second reminder in May.

As of the close of business Thursday, Ms. Riley said some 75 percent of Shelby County property taxes for 2014 had been collected of the $26 million on the roll. That compares to 69 percent at this same time in 2014.

The Shelby County Tax Assessor-Collector's office in the courthouse is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
