No. Please contact the local treasurer of your municipality for options to pay your first installment.

If the first installment is not paid by January 31, the entire unpaid balance becomes delinquent and is subject to interest and penalty retroactive to February 1 at a rate of 1.5% per month until it is paid in full. Delinquent real estate tax payments are payable to the St. Croix County Treasurer.

Property tax payments are considered timely if they are received on or before the respective due dates according to Wisconsin State Statute 74.69(1). We urge taxpayers to mail payments several days early to avoid postal delay.

Back to the Treasurer's Office page

No, but we encourage taxpayers to make whatever payments they can to reduce their outstanding balance as well as the amount of interest and penalty that will accrue.

You can update your tax bill mailing address on our Tax Bill Change of Address Form.

In addition to the mailing of your annual property tax bill, the tax bill address is used for any purposes needed to communicate with the landowner of a property by the County, local municipality, or the public. 

This can include, but is not limited to, public notices, septic pumping cards, delinquent tax notices, and more. 

Your tax address is public information. We do not maintain email address or phone numbers of landowners. The tax bill address is often the only way a landowner can be contacted. 

The owner listed on a property or parcel is the owner to the deeds of record. 

If you have questions or concerns about how your name is reflected on the tax bill, please contact St. Croix County Real Property Listing at: 715-386-4680
