Freeborn County Auditor-Treasurer Dennis A. Distad would like to remind area residents that the second half of 2009 agricultural real estate taxes and the second half of 2009 mobile home real estate taxes were due Monday.

On Tuesday a penalty will be added for the late payment.

To avoid any penalty, a Real Estate Drop Box has been installed in the lobby of the Law Enforcement Center off College Street. This lobby is open 24 hours a day and will help avoid any late payments.

For questions, contact the Auditor-Treasurer’s Office at 377-5121.
