(KNSI) – Stearns County has implemented new property tax software that consolidates multiple systems and includes a new public property tax portal called Stearns County Property Access on the county website.

The hub is designed to make it easier for the public to access information and manage property tax payments.

The Hub provides access to comprehensive property information, including ownership details, historical values ​​and tax returns, with online payment options including free e-check or credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard or Discover with a 2.5% service fee) and scheduled payment options. There is also detailed information on special levies and access to property tax payment history.

Navigation is also easier with Stearns County’s interactive GIS maps and Beacon, a subscription-based GIS and data reporting tool with assessment and tax capabilities.

You can find step-by-step instructions and a video demonstration of the new online payment process by clicking here. If you have questions or need assistance, please call 320-656-3870.
