PROPERTY TAX COLLECTION PROCEDURE

Tax bills are being forwarded to the OWNERS of property in the City of Glendale. If you are not the owner of the property described on the bill you receive, please forward it to the owner or return it to the City Treasurer's Office. For any properties sold or titles transferred after November 1, 2007, we will make every attempt to forward current tax bills to new owners.

Procedure for sending bills directly to PROPERTY OWNERS has been adopted for the following reasons:

1. The PROPERTY OWNERS will know the amount of their current taxes.
2. The Treasurer's Office will be able to mail bills at an earlier date.
3. Those desiring double tax payments in a calendar year (for income tax purposes) are assured of prompt receipt of statements.
4. Property Owners will be able to determine amounts available for payment of real estate taxes in tax escrow accounts (where applicable).
5. This allows adequate time for the taxpayer to instruct the proper lending agency as to special requests for payment of the tax bill (e.g., prior to December 31, installment payments, etc.).

PAYMENTS MAY BE MADE TO THE TREASURER'S OFFICE IN PERSON OR BY MAIL.

If you use the mail to pay your taxes, be assured that a receipt will be mailed to you the next business day.

Please remember the PERMANENT COLLECTION RECEPTACLE located at the front entrance to City Hall. Feel free to deposit your payment attached to your tax statement. A RECEIPT WILL BE MAILED TO YOU THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. The drop box may be used for all types of other payments due the City, including sewer/water bills, invoices, etc.

FULL PAYMENTS are due January 31, 2008. Installment payments are due January 31, March 31 and May 31, 2008 respectively.

The three installment plan is an option for payment of taxes. Special charges, i.e. delinquent water/sewer bills, weed cutting, street improvement charges, etc., are not eligible for the installment plan and are due on or before January 31 along with the first installment.

All payments made on or before the due date, as well as any delinquent payments made through July 31st, are to be made to the TREASURER, CITY OF GLENDALE. Delinquent payments made after July 31st are payable to the Milwaukee County Treasurer.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR TODAY so you are not late for an installment payment. NO OTHER NOTICES WILL BE SENT.

The postmark governs the date of payment - NOT the date on your check.

If you are paying the bill in person and require more than a few dollars change over the amount of your taxes, refund will be made by check.

Your CITY tax is the only amount controlled by the Mayor and Aldermen. Any questions about this tax should be directed to the City Treasurer's Office at (414) 228-1701.

All other taxing jurisdictions control their own tax levy. Questions should be directed to each of these jurisdictions regarding their taxes.
