DUE DATES: The first half of your property taxes is due on January 31. Payments postmarked on or before the due date are on time. This first payment must be sent to:
Town of Kickapoo, P.O.Box 1, Readstown, WI 54652.
Each parcel has its own page, therefore, if you have more than one page, you need to add the pages together for your total amount due. It is not necessary to write a separate check for each parcel.
If you choose to pay in two installments, the second half is due on July 31 and goes directly to the County Treasurer. Do not mail your second installment to the township. Reminder notices from the county are sent out prior to that payment due date.
RECEIPT: Your tax bill and cancelled check should serve as your receipt for most needs. If you want a separate printed receipt, you need to request that in writing with your check and send a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
TAX LIST: A tax list is available showing all taxpayers in the township with the amount of their taxes. The list is available at the town website, the town office, the town dump, or you may request it in writing with your tax payment along with a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
MORE INFORMATION: vernoncountywi.gov is the county website which has information regarding any parcel of land in the county. Go to Land Information & GIS Maps on their website.
OPEN BOOK: Every year the Town Board and our Assessor conduct an Open Book session. The purpose of this session is to answer questions and explain assessments. The date and time for this will be posted on our website and at our usual posting sights. Watch for it in the spring around May or June.
