Make a Difference by Getting Involved in Your Community

Rebuilding Together LogoRebuilding Together of Greater Des Moines has partnered with DMACC to offer core leadership classes to those interested in Neighborhood/Community Leadership.

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 515-964-6800 and reference CRN 26965.

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.
