Dakota County Taxes Due Oct. 15
First half taxes, which were sent last spring, are subject to penalty if they aren't received by mid-October.
Property taxes on Dakota County real estate for the first half of 2013 are due Tuesday, Oct. 15, according to the county auditor's office.
According to state law, the county will assess a penalty for late payments. The penalty depends on the tax amount, property classification and when the payment is made. Penalties are listed on the back of property tax statements that were sent to residents earlier this year.
Property taxes can be paid online, by phone or by mail. Mailed payments must be postmarked by midnight Oct. 15 to be considered timely. Payments can also be made in person at the following times and locations:
