Property Tax Payments

Property taxes are an important source of revenue that fund services which benefit the community and its citizens. The County Treasurer’s Office is tasked with administering all property tax laws and the collection of property taxes, as well as annual tax settlement with each of the county’s municipalities, school districts, Gateway Technical College and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.

Payment Options

Pay by Mail

See current-year tax payments for information on where to mail your payment.

  • If you mail your payment near the end of the month, we recommend you walk it into the Post Office and ask them to hand postmark your envelope to ensure that it has a current month’s postmarked date.
  • When sending payments, please include the tax bill payment stub (on the top of your tax bill) so the payment will be applied to the correct parcel.
    • If you require a receipt, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope; otherwise receipts will not be mailed.
  • If you choose to use your bank’s BILL PAY option, be aware that these checks are typically mailed from out of state by third-party processors without a postmark. Your confirmation information from your bank is not an acceptable proof of timely payment. We must have an envelope with a U.S. postmark or a letter from the post office to prove the payment was mailed by the due date and that a postal delay is responsible for the lateness of your payment per State Statute 74.69.

Pay in Person

Second/subsequent installment and delinquent payments, payable through the County only, may be made in person at the County Treasurer’s Office. See current-year tax payments for details on where first-installment payments are made by municipality.
