Make a Difference by Getting Involved in Your Community
Rebuilding Together of Greater Des Moines has partnered with DMACC to offer core leadership classes to those interested in Neighborhood/Community Leadership. One of these short-term, affordable classes is “Navigating County Government.” Neighborhood associations and individual citizens can be instrumental participants with involvement in the decision-making processes for local governments. Participants will learn what elements are needed to successfully structure partnerships with county government, as well as learn how to access the proper departments with tips for making the process less intimidating.
The class is a total of 4 hours beginning on March 13th from 7-9 p.m. and ending on March 27th from 6-8 p.m. Click here for more information, or call DMACC at

Avoid Parking Woes – Renew vehicle tag registration and property taxes online
With heavy construction around the Polk County Administration building access to
parking is limited. Try renewing your vehicle tag registrations and paying your
property taxes with the eCheck option on the treasurer’s payment website at www.IowaTaxAndTags.gov.
The eCheck option is less than the cost of a postage stamp and certainly less than
the cost of gas, meter change, and a parking headache. The web service is available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
More secure? www.IowaTaxAndTags.gov
– the most secure government websites are those with a .gov in the web address.
Your online payment is safe and secure.
Faster? The fastest way to pay those pesky car tags and property taxes in just a
few steps is through www.IowaTaxAndTags.gov.
More cost effective? Pay online with an eCheck (an electronic version of your paper
check) for only forty cents at www.IowaTaxAndTags.gov.
