Dishonored payments may result in an additional fee up to $30 per Iowa Code 554.3512
 
Late Fees

Payments initiated on the last day of each month must be completed before midnight. For those transactions that are initiated but not completed before midnight and where delinquent fees may now apply, the shopping cart will automatically be cleared and new transactions must be started. This will only apply for those transactions that already have late fees or that may now be delinquent because of the calendar change. 
 
Service Delivery Fee

We are pleased to offer the convenience of payment by use of credit cards and e-checks online. As a governmental agency, we are restricted from deducting the costs associated with these forms of payment from your tax amount due. Therefore there will be a non-refundable service delivery fee applied to your total to help cover these costs. You will have the opportunity to review the total charge and exit the system prior to completing the transaction. Payments made during the annual tax sale or any adjourned tax sale may be refunded. However, service delivery fees will not be refunded. 
 
Payment Methods and Authorization

We currently provide two convenient methods for making your tax payments: Electronic Check and Credit Cards.
  • Electronic Check provides quick and easy electronic transfer of funds from your checking account. Electronic Check payments returned may result in the maximum charge allowed by law by your county treasurer. Refer to your county treasurer's home page for specific information.
    • AUTHORIZATION
      By checking the "I accept the Terms and Conditions" checkbox below I authorize my bank to debit my specified account for the amount of my payment and for the convenience fee. This is a one-time payment which will occur on the next business day or as soon as practical thereafter. If my payment cannot be completed for any reason, including insufficient funds or error in the information which I submitted, I will retain the same liability, which is my sole responsibility, for payment as though I had not attempted to make the payment. I also understand that additional fees and penalties may be collected to the extent of applicable law.
  • Credit Cards are another payment option we offer. We can accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover cards. For details on use of credit cards and associated fees, click here.
