Taxpayers have until Monday to pay the first half of their 2010 real estate taxes. Property taxpayers in Stearns County can pay taxes online on the Stearns County website or in person, at the county treasurer office. Taxpayers can also set up monthly or quarterly automatic payment plans. The final option is via US Mail. The envelope must be post marked by Monday at the latest. Penalty rates for late payments can be found on the back side of tax statements. Questions can be directed to the county treasurer’s department at (320) 656-3870 or taxes@co.stearns.mn.us.
