UNION COUNTY TREASURER-Linda Marley  782-1710

Drivers License (hours 8:30-4:00)

First half property taxes were due by September 30, 2004.  If your first half has not been paid it will now accrue 1 ½% penalty for each month it remains unpaid.  Remember that you can still use the website, www.iowatreasurers.org, to pay your delinquent taxes and the March payment.  A huge thank you from all of us for your patience when you had to stand in line or wait for a return phone call.

It’s that time of year when farmers are increasing the tonnage on their trucks in order to haul grain.  Please remember to bring in your current registration when you come into our office.  You must have the current registration and the tonnage increase attached to be legal.  You will receive a fine for carrying one or the other and not both.  Don’t forget that you can renew your vehicles online at www.getyourtags.com.  You will need the PIN number printed on your renewal notice that is sent out the month prior to your renewal month.

UNION COUNTY ASSESSOR-Gene Haner  782-1735
