Real Property and Personal Property Tax Payment Information

The township or village (local) treasurers mail the real property and personal property tax bills in December.

Personal property taxes must be paid in full by January 31 to the local treasurer, unless the installment option is indicated on your tax bill.

There are two options for paying real property taxes:

If you choose to pay your real property taxes in full, the payment is due by January 31 to the local treasurer.

If you choose to pay your real property taxes in two installments (tax bills over $100), the first installment is due to your local treasurer by January 31. The second installment is due to the Burnett County Treasurer by July 31. If either installment is late, the tax becomes delinquent and interest is charged.

If payments are not made by the deadlines, interest is charged on the entire unpaid balance at 1% per month retroactive from February 1 until paid.

Payments that are mailed, must be postmarked no later than the payment due date. Payments that are hand delivered must be to the proper treasurer by the due date.

All delinquent real property taxes must be paid to the Burnett County Treasurer.

Reminders for current year postponed taxes are mailed in June.

Delinquent tax billings are mailed in March, September, and November.
