Treasurer encourages use of website for transacting county business

    Cerro Gordo County Treasurer Mike Grandon is encouraging county residents to use on-line services to conduct county business.
    The use of the business online offerings at the Cerro Gordo County Treasurer’s office will result in better, more efficient, cost effective service thanks to the partnership of 88 county treasurers and ABC Virtual of Des Moines, said Grandon
    The Iowa State County Treasurers Association website at  www.iowatreasurers.org is the same address with a different look, easier payment process and lower cost (cheaper than a postage stamp at .40 cents for an echeck payment).  Grandon adds that use of the site will result in peace of mind – knowing a payment has been received in a timely manner.
    Current property tax payments and motor vehicle renewals are payable online.  Echeck payments are only a .40 cent charge.  Customers may use Mastercard, Visa and Discover credit cards but are subject to a sliding service delivery fee for property tax payments and a $5.50 flat fee for multiple motor vehicle renewals (as well as the usual postage and handling fee).  All fees are fully disclosed before the customer ends the process.
    “It is quick, easy, and totally secure to process your payments online.    Also, forms, office information, frequently asked questions and email contacts make the Cerro Gordo County Treasurer’s office a 24/7 operation,” said  Grandon.
