The Randolph County Collector's Office provides taxpayers the option of paying their taxes online. Payments for current and delinquent real estate and personal property taxes are accepted online. Please note that the most delinquent year tax must be paid before current years. Taxpayers may pay these taxes online with a credit card or via electronic check. Credit cards accepted are Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. A convenience fee will apply to each transaction when using this service. The Collector's Office does not charge or retain any of the transaction fees. Before finalizing your transaction, you will be asked to agree to the fee amount added.
