MASON CITY – It’s time to pay those pesky taxes, the county treasurer says.
Treasurer Patricia Wright reminds all taxpayers that the 2nd half real estate and mobile home taxes are due in the Treasurer’s office by 4:30 pm Monday, April 2, 2018, due to March 31st occurring on a weekend. The Court House will be closed on Friday, March 30th due to the Good Friday holiday; therefore, mailed taxes must have a postmark no later than April 2, 2018.
When paying by mail or in person, the Treasurer recommends using the 2nd half coupon attached to the statement. The taxpayer’s cancelled check will serve as receipt. Those wishing an additional receipt must enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Payment methods accepted in the office are cash, check, and debit card, Discover, MasterCard and Visa.
The Treasurer encourages all taxpayers to take advantage of the online property tax payment at www.iowatreasurers.org. This service provides an opportunity to pay taxes online for any property in Iowa through a secure website 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Payment may be made by Discover, MasterCard, Visa, or eCheck (debiting the funds electronically from your checking account).
The Treasurer’s office in the courthouse is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm.
