Pay Taxes
Real Estate / Personal Property Tax Payment Options
PLEASE NOTE: THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF YOUR 2022 PROPERTY TAX BILL IS DUE BY TUESDAY, JANUARY 31ST, 2023.
If you chose to pay your taxes in installments, your first installment is due by January 31st, 2023 to the Village of Richfield Treasurer and your second installment will be due July 31st, 2023 to the Washington County Treasurer. If you do not pay the TOTAL amount of your taxes by the scheduled due dates, the TOTAL amount of your remaining unpaid taxes will be delinquent (Wis Stats 74.11(7), 74.12, or 74.87). Delinquent taxes are subject to interest and penalties until they are paid in full.
To pay your second installment to the Washington County Treasurer by mail, mail your payment to:
Washington County Treasurer
432 E Washington St, PO Box 1986
West Bend, WI 53095-7986
To pay your second installment to the Washington County Treasurer by phone or online, visit the Washington County Treasurer website here.
If you elect to pay by mail, please do so prior to the due date to ensure timely payment. First installments are due to Village Hall by January 31st and second installments are due on July 31st. Include the following with your payment: the tax coupon and a check or money order payable to "The Village of Richfield." Mailed payments are considered timely if postmarked on or before the January 31st due date. Remember to send a self-addressed and stamped envelope to receive a receipt. Any outstanding payments past January 31st must be sent to the Washington County Treasurer's Office.
Checks issued by lending institutions must be properly endorsed by all parties listed as payee. Tax receipts are valid only after deposited check has cleared the bank. Any returned checks from your bank voids your payment. There is a $30 charge for all checks returned from the bank for any reason.
