OFFICE INFORMATION

Trempealeau County is divided into 26 municipalities.  Our office processes tax bills and collects taxes on over 28,500 tax parcels.

The local Municipal Treasurers send out the tax bills in mid December.  Only the local treasurers can accept payments for the first    installment or any amount paid for the current tax year by January 31^st.  Personal property bills are paid to the Municipal Treasurer year round.

Second installment taxes must be paid to the County Treasurer by July 31^st.  All payments for delinquent taxes are collected by the       County Treasurer.

·        Interest charged on delinquencies is 1% per month, beginning February 1^st.

·        We accept a postmark as proof of timely payment.

·        Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve you of the obligation to pay the tax bill and applicable late fees.

·        If the 1^st installment is not paid by January 31^st, the entire balance of the tax bill is considered delinquent and is immediately due.

If you are considering purchasing a property, it is always wise to check to make sure the taxes on the property are current.  Once you purchase a property, any delinquent property taxes become your responsibility.  If you are purchasing title insurance or having an        abstract updated, the title company will check this for you.

The County Treasurer’s Office is also responsible for receiving and depositing funds from all county departments, investing                      county funds, processing accounts payable and payroll checks, and issuing dog licenses.
