How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Two common money topics come up with Union County: adding funds for someone incarcerated and property tax payments handled by the Trustee's office. For inmate deposits, common options include in-person kiosks, online portals or apps, and automated phone systems, though exact channels and vendors can vary. Keep in mind that commissary or trust funds are usually separate from phone or video credits. Third-party processors typically display any convenience or processing fees at checkout. Deposits may post right away or take 1 to 2 business days. Keep your receipt and contact the facility if a deposit doesn't appear. For property taxes, you can pay in person, by mail, or online (online payments include a convenience fee). Notices are usually mailed in late September, payable through the end of February, delinquent March 1, and may be forwarded for collection after 18 months.
