Late payment penalty waived through June 15 for eligible taxpayers
The Dakota County Board of Commissioners approved a property tax penalty abatement for the first half of 2021 property taxes. The penalty for late payment is waived through Tuesday, June 15, 2021.
The penalty relief applies to all non-escrowed residential, agricultural, vacant rural, open space, apartment, commercial and industrial property. Taxes paid through an escrow service and properties classified as utility, railroad, machinery, and transmission lines are excluded from the waiver.
The penalty waiver is intended for taxpayers currently experiencing financial hardship. Property owners who can pay their first half property taxes by the May 17, 2021 due date should do so to help local services.
If you would like more information on the property tax extension, you may contact Dakota County at 651-438-4576 or by email taxation@co.dakota.mn.us.
