Your entire real estate tax bill, or AT LEAST your first installment, is due by January 31. If you choose to pay installments, make note that the amount due for your installments may vary. Not paying AT LEAST the installment amount by the due date and to the correct place will cause you to incur additional charges.

Payments made on or before January 31 must be paid to your Municipal Treasurer unless noted otherwise on your tax bill.

Payments made after January 31 must be paid to your County Treasurer unless noted otherwise on your tax bill.

Under Wisconsin state law, failure to pay AT LEAST the installment amount by the due date results in two consequences:

1. The entire balance comes due immediately, eliminating the option to pay in installments.
2. The unpaid principal will accrue 1% monthly interest and up to 0.5% penalty per month until the delinquent amount is paid in full. This interest and penalty is retroactive to February 1 after the first installment date.*

*Please note, the penalty rate may vary depending upon location.
