Instructions for using the Delinquent Tax
List in Adobe Format |
|
|
|
You can search for a
particular parcel by name or parcel number in Adobe. To
begin a search, start with your cursor at the beginning of the
document. Choose Edit from the Menu Bar and choose Find,
or use the shortcut Ctrl + F, and enter the name or parcel number
you wish to locate. Then you can either hit Enter or click
on the Next arrow. If you should happen to be in the
middle of the document when you begin a search, you will need to
press the Previous or Next arrows accordingly. This will
take you to the parcel. Note that the lists are in order
from oldest to newest delinquent year. Therefore, to
ensure all delinquent years are accounted for, click the Next
arrow to search through the remaining document for additional
delinquent taxes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you receive this message:
“Acrobat has finished searching the document. The find
item was not found,” then that parcel does not have delinquent
taxes or you have reached the end of the document. To be
sure, check that the number has been entered correctly |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This list
will be updated weekly for use. Please note the payoff date to ensure you have
the correct list. If you should have any questions about the information
on this list, please contact our office at 507-437-9456 |

If the
delinquent tax list is not updated for the current month, please
see the interest schedule at the bottom of the page to help you
calculate the interest for the current month. For example: |

|
Go to
the interest schedule and find the appropriate line (Year Taxes
Payable 2009 & Year Taxes Became Delinquent 2010). Follow
that row until you reach the column that indicated the current
month and year (August 2012). The percentage to apply is
26.6667% |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Formula:
Tax + Penalty + Fees = $______ x 26.6667% = interest due in
August 2012 |
|
|
|
|
$608.00 + $60.80 + $30.00 = $698.80 x 26.667% = $186.34 |
|
|
|
|
$698.80 + 186.34 = $885.14 (total amount of 2009 taxes due by
the end of August 2012) |

2013 Unpaid Tax List
(Will be published after 2013 tax statements are released) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This “2013 Unpaid Tax List” is just like using the Delinquent
Tax List but this list only contains taxes for 2013. You may
notice that there are parcels on this list that are not late in
their tax payments. That is because if there is any
balance due (such as second half payment) it will show up on
this list. The key to see if there are late taxes due is
to see if there is a penalty included in the amount. If there
is, then this tells you that the first half has not been paid.
If you should have additional
questions on this list, please give our office a call at (507)
437-9456. |

|
|
|
Plat Listing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have also added a plat listing to help
you in finding your parcel on this list should you not have a
parcel number. This plat listing will tell you the first five
numbers of the parcel number, the subdivision it represents, and
the city in which it lies. If you should have additional
questions on this list, please give our office a call at (507)
437-9456. |

Tax Search Fees |
|
|
Since 1989 the
Auditor-Treasurer's office has maintained a tax search fee of
$2.50 per parcel. In the early years, tax search requests
came to us largely through the US mail. We would perform a
tax search and complete a tax certificate. This
certificate would be signed and would attest to the accuracy of
the information. This type of request has gone by the
wayside and has been supplanted with phone calls. The
phone calls often ask for the detail that was found on the tax
certificates. The information generally asks for current
tax, delinquent tax, penalty, interest, special assessment (with
detail) market valuation and homesteading. Though the
latter two, we refer to the county assessor's office. Our
office has answered these inquiries free of charge and has
forfeited the tax search fee of $2.50. We will charge for
all tax search requests beginning August 2, 2010. You may
mail, email, or fax your information to our office and at the
end of the month we will bill you for this information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Property tax information will
be provided free to the property owner, though print and copy
charges will apply. |

Schedule of Penalties for
Late Payment of Property Tax
|
|
|
To avoid a penalty, envelopes
must be postmarked by the due date to be considered paid on time. |
|
|
If you pay your first half and second half property tax after the due dates, a
penalty will be added to your tax. The later you pay, the greater the penalty
you must pay. This table shows the penalty you will pay if your property taxes
due are not paid before the date shown: |

If the due date for your second half property tax payment is November 15th
and your property is classified as agricultural homestead property, the
penalty rates for late payments are: 6% if you pay from November 16th through
November 30th; 8% if you pay from December 1 through January 3; and 10% if you
pay on January 4th, or later. |
|
|
|
|
|
If the due date for your second half property tax payment is November 15th
and your property is classified as agricultural non-homestead property,
the penalty rates for late payment are: 8% if you pay from November 16th through
November 30th ; 12% if you pay from December 1st through January 3rd; and 14% if
you pay on January 4th, or later. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you own both a farm and another type of property, a home in town for
example, the November 15th due date applies only to the property taxes on your
farm property. The property taxes on your other property are due October 15th.
The special law does not apply to first-half property taxes. First-half property
taxes on all property, including farm property, are due May 15th. |
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The taxes for personal property located on leased government-owned land
may be paid in two installments which are due at the same time as real property
taxes, and which are subject to the same penalty schedule and penalty rates as
real property taxes. All other personal property taxes are due in full on or
before May 15th.
