The Stearns County Auditor’s Office reports their License Centers are now accepting MasterCard and Discover credit cards for all transactions processed over the counter in the license centers.

With the exception of property tax payments, MasterCard and Discover opted to participate in the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services credit card program that authorizes deputy registrars to accept credit cards. Visa did not choose to participate.

Stearns County’s Virtual License Center also allows customers to pay online by credit card and e-check for various license center transactions.

Both the Virtual License Center and the option to pay your taxes online can be found on the Stearns County Website.
