The deadline to pay the second part of 2009-10 property taxes without a late penalty is Thursday.

Polk County Treasurer Mary Maloney said she expects 20,000 customers to come through her office this month, so she encourages taxpayers to make payments online at www.IowaTaxAndTags.gov. Online payments can be made via credit card or electronic check, and the website is available around the clock.

Full or partial payments can be made. Late interest accrues at 1.5 percent per month after the deadline.
