Mobile home and real estate taxes must be paid by Monday to avoid a late fee.

The second half of taxes were due March 1st and beginning April 3rd the penalty will be applied. Washington County Treasurer Jeff Garrett states the penalty is 1.5%, it is per month and rounded to the nearest whole dollar, with a minimum of $1 per parcel. There are multiple ways to pay, including online at IowaTreasurers.org. You can also pay in person, and statement coupons must accompany payments. They can be placed in the drop box on the west side of the courthouse, or at the Washington County Treasurer’s Office during business hours. Any properties with taxes that are unpaid on May 31st will be advertised as delinquent. Any of those that remain unpaid on June 18th will be offered at the annual tax sale
