Failure to Pay

Failure to Pay on Time

If your tax bill qualifies and if you choose to pay your taxes in installments, then you must pay each installment on or before five working days after the due date or the total amount of your remaining unpaid taxes, special assessments, special charges and special taxes (if any) will be delinquent (section 74.11[7], 74.12, or 74.87, Wisconsin Statutes). All delinquent taxes are subject to interest and penalties of 1.5% per month (fraction of a month counts as a whole month) from February 1 until paid.

The payment must be received by the treasurer within five working days of the due date.

Failure to receive a property tax bill does not affect the validity of the general property taxes, special taxes, special charges and special assessments levied or the collection of delinquent general property taxes, special taxes, special charges and special assessments (sec 74.09[6], Wisconsin Statutes).
