Kenosha city officials announced Monday that 2019 tax bills were mailed last week and that hours for in-person tax payments have been set through the end of the year.

Residents can download a pdf of their tax bill on www.kenosha.org.

Due to the dates the holidays fall on this year, city hall as well as the city clerk-treasurer’s office will have limited availability the last two weeks of the year.

The office will be closed Dec. 24-25 and Dec. 31-Jan. 1.

The last day this year that taxes may be paid in-person at City Hall is Dec. 30.

Tax collection hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The city offers several ways to pay taxes:

Online: www.kenosha.org using an electronic check ($1 fee) or a debit card or credit card (2.5 percent fee).

Drop box: Place your payment in an envelope and drop it into one of the two white drop boxes located on the west side of City Hall. (Please do not deposit cash.)

U.S. mail: Tax payments may be mailed to the City Clerk’s Office at 625 52nd St., Room 105, Kenosha WI 53140.

When using the drop box or paying by mail, include the top portion of the tax bill with payments or write the address/parcel number on the memo section of a check.

Payment dates are recorded based on date paid, date dropped off, or by U.S. postmark.

In order to receive a mailed receipt, include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with payment.
