Dakota County's alternative service methods for Property Tax Petitions

The procedures below will apply until further notice. 

Minnesota Statute 278.01 requires personal service of one copy of a property tax petition upon the County Auditor/Treasurer. For all counties, each petitioner must file a copy of the petition with proof of service, in the office of the court administrator of the district court, on or before April 30 of the year in which the taxes become payable.

Acceptable Alternative Service of Tax Petitions on Dakota County Entities:

The Dakota County Auditor/Treasurer's Office is currently accepting email service of property tax petitions. The county has set up a special email address for service of tax petitions. A scanned copy of a complete property tax petition (including the front, back and any additional pages) received by the county at this designated email address will satisfy the service requirement on the County Auditor/Treasurer.

Service instructions

1. Email service of property tax petitions for Dakota County properties can be accomplished by emailing the petition to ​ taxpetitions@co.dakota.mn.us.

2. Other methods of service. Other than the email service described above, property tax petitions may only be served in person at the following address, pursuant to ​Minnesota Statute 278.01:

​Dakota County Property Taxation & Records
1590 Highway 55
Hastings, MN 55033​

Acknowledgement of service

Upon receipt of a property tax petition by the email service described above, the county will issue the petitioner an acknowledgment of service by email. This shows the required county departments have been served. This acknowledgment must be filed in di​strict court with the property tax petition.​

Petitioners are advised to serve property tax petitions in advance of the April 30 filing deadline each year to allow time for return of the acknowledgment of service.
