Allamakee County Treasurer’s Office reminds property owners of tax due date coming up March 31

Allamakee County Treasurer Jennifer O’Neill would like to remind property owners the second installment of property taxes is due by March 31, 2024. Those tax payments can be made at the Allamakee County Treasurer’s office in the Allamakee County Courthouse at 110 Allamakee Street in Waukon between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Property owners are reminded to bring their tax stubs with their payment to ensure proper credit. To avoid penalty on the second installment, payment must be received in the Treasurer’s Office by Monday, April 1. Penalty will begin to apply April 2.

E-check and credit card payments are also accepted online at www.iowatreasurers.org. Property owners will need their receipt number to pay by E-check, and this can be found on their tax statement.

For convenience, the Allamakee County Treasurer’s Office does accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and debit cards in its office for payments on taxes and motor vehicle registrations. There is an additional fee for using a debit card. Credit card companies set the fees charged for using their credit cards, and it is the same fee as charged on the internet payment system.

A drop box is also located in the courthouse’s north parking lot for property owners to drop off their payment.  When exiting the parking lot, the box can be found on the left-hand side for convenient payment through the driver-side window of a vehicle.

Elderly Credit: Those who are at least 65 years of age as of December 31, 2023, or who are totally disabled and have a total household income of less than $25,328.00, or who are 70 years of age as of December 31, 2023 and have an income that is less than 250% of the federal poverty level might be eligible for additional tax credit on their home. The deadline to sign up for this tax credit is Monday, June 3. Contact the Allamakee County Treasurer’s office for more information at 563-568-3793 or email treas@allamakeecounty.iowa.gov.

The last day to pay taxes in the Allamakee County Treasurer’s office to avoid having name and property listed in the newspaper tax publication is Friday, May 17. Unpaid taxes will be offered for sale at the Annual Tax Sale to be held Monday, June 17 of this year.
