Welcome to the home of the Minnesota Association of County Officers!

Greetings,

Hopefully warm weather is right around the corner. As I write this the state Legislature in still in session. However some of our initiatives have been passed and signed by the Governor earlier this session as part of a noncontroversial Tax bill. Some of the highlights from the bill include allowing partial payments on delinquent taxes, increasing the valuation for taxing personal property on manufactured homes from $500 to $1,000, increasing the amount for entering into confession of judgments from $200,000 to $500,000, removal of the "state paid aids" line on the property tax statement, and allowing the electronic transmission of property tax statements and truth-in-taxation notices at the request of the taxpayer. All these items were part of the MACO legislative platform, and we are making progress on many other issues this session.

I would also like to remind you of the upcoming Minnesota County Recorders Association Summer Conference which will be held June 8-11 at Ruttger’s Sugar Lake Lodge near Grand Rapids and the Minnesota Association of Auditors, Treasurers and Financial Officers Summer Conference, which will be held June 17-20th at Fair Hills Resort near Detroit Lakes.

Again I want to encourage you to use the member’s only section of the website. This is a valuable tool for sharing information amongst our members.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding MACO please contact me or one of the MACO Board members (they are listed on the website).

Dennis Freed,
President, MACO
