Who sends the property tax bill in Sheboygan County, and how do you pay it?

The bill comes from the Sheboygan County Treasurer and Real Property Listing office (your town, village or city treasurer collects the full payment or first installment). The value it is based on is set by a separate office, the assessor for your town, village or city (each municipality in Sheboygan County values its own properties; the county does not), which is who to ask if the value looks wrong. For how to look up and pay the bill, go to the county's own payment information.

Sheboygan County taxes are paid to two offices. The full payment or first installment goes to your town, village or city treasurer by January 31, and the second installment and any late taxes go to the Sheboygan County Treasurer at 508 New York Avenue, Room 109, in Sheboygan; the county collects second installments for all 28 municipalities. The county takes cash or check in person on weekdays, by mail, or in a drop box along New York Avenue outside the County Administration Building; include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want a receipt. Online payments through an outside processor cost $1.50 for an e-check, $3.95 for a Visa debit card and 2.39% for other cards. Some towns and villages take first-installment payments only by mail or at a local bank, so check the instructions that come with your bill.

When are property taxes due in Sheboygan County?

For the 2026 (payable 2027) bill, Sheboygan County splits the bill into 2 payments, the first due January 31, 2027 and the last July 31, 2027. If the first installment is late, the installment option is lost and the whole unpaid balance becomes delinquent as of February 1. A late second installment makes the remaining balance delinquent as of August 1. From February 1 on, the Sheboygan County Treasurer collects all current and delinquent taxes. Delinquent taxes carry interest of 1% a month under state law, counted back to February 1. State law also lets a county add a penalty of up to 0.5% a month, for up to 1.5% a month in all; Sheboygan County's published pages do not say whether it does, so ask the county treasurer before paying a late bill.

Sheboygan County property tax due dates, 2026 (payable 2027)
Payment	Due	Note
Full payment, or first installment (paid to your town, village or city treasurer)	January 31, 2027	Tax bills are mailed by the third Monday of December. During December and January the county treasurer takes only older delinquent taxes, so current-year payments go to your local treasurer at the address on your bill.

State law also does not treat the first installment as late if the treasurer receives it within 5 working days after January 31, and because January 31 falls on a weekend that period ends at the close of business on Friday, February 5, 2027; the payment must arrive by then. Paying in installments is allowed only when the real estate tax on the parcel is $100 or more; smaller bills must be paid in full by January 31.
Second installment (paid to the Sheboygan County Treasurer)	July 31, 2027	July 31, 2027 is a Saturday. The Sheboygan County Treasurer's office is open Monday through Friday, and Wisconsin law then moves the deadline to the next business day, Monday, August 2, 2027. State law does not treat the second installment as late if the county treasurer receives it within 5 working days after July 31, and because July 31 falls on a weekend that period ends at the close of business on Friday, August 6, 2027; the payment must arrive by then.
