Options for tax bill payment are listed below: 1. Payments can be made online. Visit www.orangecountyva.gov/taxpayments. Payment options are available on this page for real estate and personal property bills. The recently mailed bills reflect the only tax bill for the one-time “short” tax year. An additional fee will apply for online payments. 2. In-person payments can be made at the Orange County Treasurer’s Office at 112 West Main Street, Orange VA 22960. The Treasurer’s Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except holidays. An after-hours drop box is also available at the entrance.

It is encouraged to mail payments early to ensure they are postmarked on or before June 5, 2025. If mailing within a few days of the due date, visit the post office in-person and request a postmark at the desk.
Please Note: Taxpayers may notice a code in the box labelled “Mortgage Company Box” on the bill. If a code is present in that box, then the bill has been sent to their mortgage company on file for payment.
