Property Tax

Unpaid special assessments will appear on the property tax statement.  Property tax statements are prepared by Dakota County and mailed each spring.  If you are responsible for paying your own property tax (for example, you do not escrow with your mortgage company), this statement will include payment coupons due May 15 and October 15 each year.
