PROPERTY TAX DEADLINE REMINDER
Posted on Monday March 9th, 2009.
MARY MALONEY, POLK COUNTY TREASURER--The deadline for payment of
the second installment of the 2007/2008 property tax is Tuesday, March 31, 2009.
Polk County Treasurer Mary Maloney reminds taxpayers, "we are expecting twenty thousand
customers to walk into our office this month; therefore, you are encouraged to use
our online web payment system at
www.IowaTaxAndTags.gov or from a link from our web site at
www.polkcountyiowa.gov/treasurer."
Full or partial payments can be made with a credit card or e/Check. Try our eCheck
option. It’s less than the cost of a postage stamp and certainly less than the cost
of gas. The web service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Have You Lost Your Tax Statement???? If you have lost your real
estate tax statement, you may go to the
Real Estate Tax Inquiry Site to print an online statement.
Tuesday, March 31 is the last day to pay in person, without late interest. Office
hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Polk County Administrative
Office Building, 2nd & Court Avenue. Payments may be mailed but must have a March
31st postmark to be processed without late interest. To receive a March 31 postmark,
please mail by 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at the main post office. The
post office does not postmark on Sunday. If mailing from an outlying post office,
please check postmark deadline requirements with the post office to obtain a timely
postmark. Interest on delinquent taxes accrues at 1.5% per month. Company affixed
metered mail dates do not supersede the post office postmark.
To obtain more information regarding tax payments please call 286-3060.
