IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Angie Maki Cliff - Ashtabula County Treasurer

Angie Maki Cliff - Ashtabula County Treasurer

Heads-up: I have had a few data collection companies make public records requests for the Ashtabula county delinquent tax list. Sneaky, but not illegal. In the past, I have seen these companies reach out to property owners behind on their taxes and try to spook you with foreclosure threats to convince you to sell your property fast and cheap Don’t fall for it! Only take serious notice if the correspondence is coming from my desk, Angie Maki Cliff - Ashtabula County Treasurer or the office of county prosecutor, Colleen O’Toole.

Keep in mind, that foreclosure action is possible for certified delinquent properties, but remember my staff is here to help. We can assist you with a delinquent payment plan that allows you to get current on your taxes.

Our goal is to see you succeed!

Payment plan information is available at https://www.ashtabulacounty.us/316/Payment-Plans or by calling our office at 440-576-3727.

Got to visit the brand new PV Bus Garage and Administrative building tonight. Very impressive. Beautifully done, simple, efficient, and functional. Nice work board members and team. I even got to deadlift one of the buses (with the hold of some state-of-the-art hydronic lifts)!!!!! Lol. Check it out if you are in the area behind the PV Middle School on SR 6.
