SAC COUNTY TAX DEPARTMENT
Taxes are due in our office twice a year. Statements are sent out about the 2nd week of August. If you choose to make this in two payments, the 1st half is due in September and the 2nd half is due in March.
The late penalty is 1½% (rounded to the nearest dollar) per month. Delinquent notices are sent out in November and May. By May 19th, any delinquents that are left are sent to the newspaper for publication for the upcoming Tax Sale.
The Online Tax Sale is held annually in the Sac County Treasurer's Office on the 3rd Monday in June. Once sold at the Tax Sale, penalty is 2% per month plus costs.
Tax Searches consist of Paid taxes, legal descriptions (not by address) parcel numbers, by name, or receipt number. You may come in and do your own search, or we can do it for $2 per parcel number.
All of the money that comes into the county is funneled through the Treasurer's Office by Miscellaneous Receipts. These are kept separate by line item numbers. Some have separate accounts at the bank which we must keep track of too.
And the end of the month, we balance everything that has been brought in making sure we balance to the penny. Then we apportion this money out to each of the entities (schools, cities, etc.) Monthly and Financial Reports are run at this time.
When we see there is enough money in the Drains, we call in as many stamped drainage warrants as possible. These have accumulated interest. After these are processed, we issue checks to the warrant holder. Sometimes the name on the warrant is different from the person paid because the warrant owner has sold it to a purchaser. If you have purchased any of these stamped drainage warrants, please let our office know so that when it comes time to issue payment, you are notified. If you want, Sac County will purchase for face value.
Twice a year we attend ISAC (Iowa State Association of Counties) and once a year we attend ISCTA (Iowa State County Treasurer's Association). Other than that, we attend ICUBE (Iowa Computer User of Burrows Equipment) twice a year to learn the new changes, updates, programs and technologies.
