Wisconsin taxing districts (municipalities, schools, counties, etc.) set their budgets in the fall, usually November. After each district has set its levy for the next year, property taxes are calculated and bills are prepared. This means bills are usually received by taxpayers in early- to mid-December.
This year, due to COVID-19, we strongly discourage you from coming inside the City Hall building to pay your property taxes and ask you to drop your payment in the drive-up payment drop box located in the parking lot or to pay by mail.
Paying via drop box or mail:
- Make checks payable to “City of Monona.” Please do not send cash in the U.S. mail.
- Endorse escrow checks by all persons named on the check.
- Include your phone number on your check so we can call you if there are any problems.
- If you’d like a receipt for your payment, you have 3 options:
- Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your payment and we will mail you a receipt.
- Include a note with your email address, and we will email you a receipt.
- Beginning in mid-January, download and print an electronic receipt from Dane County’s Access Dane website at https://accessdane.countyofdane.com
