COVID-19 Pandemic Safety Protocols Mandate a Change in the Way Many in Milwaukee Pay Their Taxes
City Treasurer Installs Drop Boxes as an Alternative to In Person Payments

The current pandemic has prompted a major change in the way property taxpayers will remit their payments to the
City of Milwaukee.

The office of the City Treasurer has been closed to the public since March, and will not reopen to accept tax payments
in the foreseeable future. So, rather than in person payments, taxpayers are encouraged to learn about their various
contactless payment options.

“We know that for thousands of people, coming to City Hall to make their tax payment is a tradition. But public health
concerns about the pandemic make that impossible now,” City Treasurer Spencer Coggs said. “So my office is taking
steps to make sure everyone has a safe and convenient tax payment alternative.”

The biggest change this year is the installation of eight new tax payment drop boxes. Seven of those are located
inside Milwaukee Police district stations, and one additional box is located on Market Street, immediately east of City
Hall. The police district drop boxes will be available starting December 21, 2020, and they will remain available through
February 5, 2021. The Market Street drop box will be available all year-round. Taxpayers are asked to submit the
coupon from the bottom of the tax bill, along with a check only, in the return envelope enclosed with the annual
statement when making a drop box payment.

As in previous years, taxpayers can mail their property tax payments using that same envelope. They also can pay
online at city.milwaukee.gov/treasurer using the Munis Citizen Self-Service option.

Additionally, taxpayers can enroll on that website for the Electronic Funds Transfer, or EFT, Installment Payment Plan
whereby ten monthly payments would be automatically deducted from a bank account. A final option is to call the
Treasurer’s Office Customer Service line at 414-286-2240 to make a payment over the phone.

Payments by check or electronic methods are the only options this year; so, please, no cash payments.

A previously offered alternative, paying a property tax bill at a US Bank branch, is no longer available.

The Milwaukee Health Department and the federal Centers for Disease Control strongly discourage people from
gathering in groups or engaging in unnecessary close contact with people outside their households. With that in mind,
this year’s tax paying precautions will make our community safer.

A list of tax payment drop box locations and addresses is attached.
