Dallas county property tax

As a property owner in Dallas County, you should be aware of the following requirements. Value Notification: The Dallas County Assessor determines property values and provides notification to property owners. Please contact the Assessor's Office for the latest valuation information on your property. New Ownership: If you are a new owner of a property, contact the Treasurer's Office at Mortgages: If your mortgage company is responsible for payment of your tax, contact them to confirm they have the correct tax information for your property.

Late Interest: Failure to receive a tax statement is not a defense to the payment of the tax and any late interest that has accrued. Iowa law requires the Treasurer to assess late interest on all delinquent payments at the rate of 1. The U. Postal Service postmark is the only date recognized for date of mailing. If you choose to mail your payment, please mail it early and use the envelope that is provided with your vehicle statement.

We cannot accept mail that has postage due. Mailed payments must have a U. Postal Service postmark dated on or before the due date to avoid a late interest. The U. Postal Service postmark is the only date recognized for date of mailing. We do not accept the date written on your check or a business metered date as proof of the mailing date.
