Memorandum
10/28/2026
RE: Property Tax Abatement
To: Board of Supervisors
In accordance with Iowa Code Section 445.63, I am requesting the abatement of delinquent property taxes for several parcels currently owned by municipalities or other political subdivisions.
The enclosed list identifies parcels with either delinquent taxes or active tax balances still showing in the system. Notice of the delinquency was previously provided to the appropriate governing bodies through either standard property tax statements or delinquency notices, fulfilling the statutory requirement for notification under this Code section.
Abating these amounts will:
Eliminate uncollectible delinquencies on government-owned parcels.
Prevent unnecessary future delinquency notices, and
Ensure that no future taxes are assessed while the parcels remain in public ownership.
Please let me know if any further information is needed to proceed.
Sincerely,
Michael Clasen
Dubuque County Treasurer
