PROPERTY TAX INSTALLMENT DUE DATES EXTENDED  

The April 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 Property Tax installment due dates have been extended to October 1, 2020, without interest or penalty, for those property owners who were current with property tax installments as of April 1, 2020. Payments made after July 31, 2020 must be made to the Milwaukee County Treasurer and not to the City of Greenfield.

Why were the due dates extended? 

In response to COVID-19’s effect on the Community, in April, 2020 the Wisconsin Legislature enacted Act 185, which provided the first step in extending the property tax installment due date. Act 185 required the Milwaukee County Board to adopt enabling legislation for the due date extension. The Milwaukee County Board took that action on May 28, 2020. Act 185 required the City of Greenfield to take similar enabling action, subsequent to the Milwaukee County Board action. Mayor Neitzke signed Emergency Proclamation No. 7 on June 8, 2020, enabling this action. This is an action taken on the 2019 property taxes only.

The City will NOT send any reminder notices for the new October 1, 2020 installment due date. It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to make timely payments when due. Failure to make a timely payment will incur interest/penalty charges dating back to February 1, 2020.

Please call our office at (414) 329-5259 if you have a property tax installment payment that is due and have further questions on this. Thank you and have a good day!
