Cass County collector outlines senior property-tax program changes and enrollment dates

Cass County board meeting · March 5, 2026

Summary

The Cass County Collector of Revenue announced open enrollment for new senior applicants from April 13 to July 3, said about 9,900 current enrollees have been notified that a tax credit will remain continuous until canceled, and reported roughly $3.6 million in month-end savings.

The Cass County Collector of Revenue told the board the county has set an open enrollment window for seniors who are new to Cass County or who turn 62 this year. "Open enrollment will begin April 13 at 9AM," the collector said, and will run through July 3.

The collector said the board's recent decision to make the senior tax credit "continuous until canceled" prompted the office to mail notices to current participants. "We sent a letter to those current enrollees in the plan about 9,900 households," the collector said, adding that those households "don't have to come back in" or submit a postcard or ID each year; the credit remains in place until the deed leaves their name or the office receives a death notice. The collector also said the office posted updated rules and regulations on the county website under a senior-citizen announcements tab and provided enrollment timing details for this year.

In a month-end summary the collector reported the program saved approximately $3,600,000. The collector characterized the figure as an approximate month-end savings; the office did not provide line-item backup in the record. The update concluded with thanks to the board.
