The McHenry County Treasurer’s Office is waiving fees for people who want to pay their property taxes online by electronic check.

According to a news release, those paying via E-Check, through the portal on the Treasurer’s Office website or by phone, will not incur fees for their 2022 property taxes, which are due June 12 for the first installment and Sept. 12 for the second installment.
