2026 TAXES
The mil rate for property taxes was set at a Special Board Meeting on Wednesday, August 5th at 15.5. ​
Tax bills were generated on August 6th and we plan to mail a hard copy to everyone on Friday, August 7th. The real estate commitment book, tax bills and related information can be viewed by clicking the links above or navigate to the "Departments" tab and select "Tax Information."
​
Your tax bills should also contain a letter outlining additional information related to recent sales and cost schedule adjustments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out to the Town Office; however, if your questions are specifically related to your valuation, the Assessor is generally in the office the 1st and 3rd Tuesday each month.
CEMETERY REMINDERS
​PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU ARE PLACING ITEMS ON EITHER OF THE CEMETERIES IN BROWNVILLE, THEY NEED TO BE PLACED IN A MANNER THAT STILL ALLOWS FOR CONVENIENT MOWING AND WEED WHACKING.
​
THIS YEAR THERE HAS BEEN AN ABUNDANCE OF ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS AND TRINKETS. THIS IS CAUSING AN INCREASE IN THE TIME NEEDED TO TEND THE CEMETERIES, AS THE CREW NEEDS TO STOP AND MOVE THEM SO NOT TO RUIN THEM.
IF PLANTING LIVE FLOWERS AND THEY NEED TO BE TENDED REGULARLY AND NOT LEFT FOR OUR CREW TO TAKE CARE OF. THERE ARE SOME STONES THAT ARE NO LONGER VISIBLE BECAUSE OF THIS.
​
ALSO, REMEMBER THAT OUR CEMETERIES ARE CARRY IN AND CARRY OUT PROPERTIES. DO NOT LEAVE TRASH AND RETURNABLES FOR US TO CLEAN UP. (THIS INCLUDES BOTTLES AND CANS OF ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRINKS THAT ARE LEFT FOR LOVED ONES).
