Manitowoc County Tax Billing Information

 

DISCLAIMER:

We have not included the owner names, to protect the privacy rights of our taxpayers.  We have made every effort to provide valuable and correct information on this web site, but let it be understood that the information is subject to errors and omissions and no warranty is given or implied as to it’s accuracy.  We suggest that you make no legal  decisions solely on the information found on our web site.  Any person is entitled per section 19.35 of Wisconsin State Statutes, to examine the public records in the office of the County Treasurer, and verify the information to the person’s own satisfaction. Manitowoc County will not have “current tax” information for the City of Manitowoc, or the City of Two Rivers, until after July 31st of each year.  (Each city collects their own current taxes until July 31st of each year.)  After July 31, only the delinquent  tax information is transferred to the County from the City of Manitowoc. (We will not have information for any current parcel, which is paid in full.)  We will receive all the tax information from the City of Two Rivers after July 31st.  (We will have all current tax information, regardless if it is paid or not, after July 31st.)

 

TAX BILLING PROCESS:

Current tax bills are created and mailed in early December of each year.  This tax is on the assessed value of property, which was existing,  as of January 1st of that year.  The County creates the bills for all municipalities except the City of Manitowoc, and the City of Two Rivers. (They create and collect their own taxes until July 31st.) Once the County has printed the tax bills, they are given to the local treasurer to mail and take collections on.  The local treasurer will take collection on the taxes until January 31st.  We will not know which current tax parcels are paid, until we settle with each municipality after January 31st.  These records are then updated when we have settled with each municipality.  (This is usually completed by the middle of February.)

 

The County is responsible for collecting the second installment, and delinquent taxes after January 31st.  (Except for the City of Manitowoc, and the City of Two Rivers.)  The second installment is due by July 31st, and payable to the County Treasurer.  If a taxpayer missed the January 31st due date, the tax is then delinquent and subject to a 1 percent per month interest, until it is paid in full.  The amount will show on our screen in red.  You will need to call our office to receive a payoff amount.  The two installment option will no longer apply.  We do accept partial payment amounts.  You do not need to pay the full amount, if you are delinquent.  By paying partial payments, you will lessen the total amount of interest you pay overall.
