JASPER COUNTY TREASURER
ANNOUNCEMENTS The Jasper County Treasurers office will be changing our method of business over the course of the next few weeks. We will still be working but only behind closed doors. We will be answering phones from 8am until 4pm Monday through Friday. Our regularly scheduled Saturday will be suspended until further notice. We have outlined frequently asked questions and the best way to make your payments below. TREASURER’S OFFICE PROPERTY TAXES: Property taxes are still due on March 31st, penalties and interest will not accrue until April 16th. The best and most secure way to pay property taxes is online. Property taxes can be paid online at www.iowatreasurers.org. When paying online, you are provided a receipt to print for your records if needed. If you need assistance making the online payment, please call our office and we can direct you. This would be the best method and avoids all exposure with the public. The fee for an e-check is only $0.25. The next best method is sending the payment by mail. We will process your payments as they come in. If you would like to have a receipt, please write that on your check and we will mail one to you. Also, please provide a telephone number with your mailed payment in the event we need to contact you. We also have a dropbox outside of our office doors and on the west side of the courthouse where you can place your payments. No payments for property tax will be accepted in person. TREASURER’S OFFICE DRIVER’S LICENSE: If you need to renew your driver’s license, we encourage you to try to renew online at https://iowadot.gov/mvd/driverslicense/renew. At this time the Governor has waived the expiration of Iowa Drivers Licenses until the emergency declaration is rescinded. If you need to get the REAL ID, we ask that you consider waiting until concerns regarding the Corona Virus subside. You will not need the REAL ID for domestic travel until October 2020. TREASURER’S OFFICE MOTOR VEHICLE: The best and most secure way to pay motor vehicle registration renewals is online. Registrations can be paid online at www.iowatreasurers.org. When paying online, you are provided a receipt to print for your records if needed. If you need assistance making the payment, please call our office and we can direct you.
