Property Taxes

Property tax bills are mailed out by the Town of Delavan by the beginning of December of each year and they will also be available online.

If you do not receive your property tax bill by December 20th, please contact the Town Treasurer at [email protected]. Failure to receive your property tax bill does not exempt you from paying property taxes timely, and interest and penalty due to delinquency.

Prior to January 31st of each year, all property tax payments should be made payable to: Town of Delavan Attn: Treasurer 5621 Town Hall Road Delavan, WI, 53115 After February 1st, property tax payments should be made payable to: Walworth County Treasurer P.O. Box 1001 Elkhorn, WI 53121 Walworth County Website

A stub from your tax bill or write the tax parcel number on your check. If sending one check for multiple payments:

• Please include a list showing each tax parcel number and amount to apply to each parcel number.
• If you want a receipt, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Please refer to the back of your tax bill for the statutory definition of a timely payment on current year tax payments. For delinquent payments, the statutes allow for United States Postal Service postmarks to be used as the effective date of payment. Please have the Post Office hand stamp your envelope with the current day's postmark if paying at the end of a month.

Delinquent property taxes are charged interest and penalty at a rate of 1.5% per month on the unpaid tax owed, beginning February 1st until paid in full. All delinquent property taxes are payable to the Walworth County Treasurer’s Office. If property taxes are delinquent for 2 or more years, the property will be subject to foreclosure.
