Tax Sale

The Cerro Gordo County Treasurer is responsible for the administration of the Annual Tax Sale and must offer for sale parcels in which taxes have become delinquent, per Iowa Code Chapter 446.

The purpose of the tax sale is to collect unpaid taxes. The Annual Tax Sale takes place the 3rd Monday in June each year. Delinquent taxes on a parcel subject to sale will be advertised in June in an official county newspaper.  To avoid publication, payment(s) must be received in our office by May 20, 2024.
