Welcome

The Dickinson County Treasurer’s Office is committed to delivering professional, courteous and prompt service as we assist you with your property tax, motor vehicle registration and titling, driver’s license and Passport photo needs.  We are focused on providing you with topnotch service in person, on the telephone and online.  Our office offers online payments at your convenience day or night.  The Treasurer’s Office is located in Dickinson County’s beautiful new Courthouse near the Spirit Lake and Okoboji lake chains.

The 2010-2011 taxes due in September 2010 and March 2011 were certified to the Dickinson County Treasurer on July 22, 2010 and are available online.  Payments can be accepted now online, by mail or in person in the office.

The State of Iowa is changing to a central issuance system for driver’s licenses and identification cards.  Under the new system, Iowans will continue to report to a driver’s license station in the State of Iowa.  Dickinson County’s station is located at the Dickinson County Courthouse just inside the west door of the building next to the Treasurer’s Office, open Monday through Friday.  The application process and requirements for a license will remain the same.  The costs for licenses and identification cards will remain the same.  There are, however, two significant changes: 

  1. A temporary paper license will be issued at the station and current licenses and identification cards presented for updating will be returned.

  2. In approximately two weeks the actual plastic license or identification card will be sent through the US Postal Service to the mailing address given. More information can be found at the Iowa Department of Transportation's website:Driver's License Central Issuance Information
