Some residents in Goodhue County were surprised to learn their property taxes were submitted late, Commissioner Barney Nesseth told colleagues at the Goodhue County Board meeting Tuesday, Feb. 6.
Nesseth said that some of his constituents put their property taxes in the mail on the due date, but those letters weren’t postmarked until the next day, resulting in a fine. He asked the board to consider a one-time waiver of those fees, but fellow commissioners did not approve his motion.
