property assessment

 When you receive your property tax bill in December, you have two options to pay your taxes. The first option is to pay your taxes IN FULL.  To pay your taxes in full, you will pay the entire amount due to the TOWN OF HIGHLAND TREASURER (as listed on your tax bill) no later than January 31st.  

The second option is to pay your taxes in installments.  If you choose to pay installments, you must pay your first installment, which is the first half of taxes along with any special assessments and charges,  to the TOWN OF HIGHLAND TREASURER (as listed on your tax bill) no later than January 31st.

Once you have paid your first installment of property taxes on time, your remaining balance is considered Postponed.  That means that between February 1st and July 31st you may continue to make payments on your second installment of taxes without interest or penalty accruing.  All "postponed" or "second installment" payments are due to the IOWA COUNTY TREASURER.  

 You may choose either payment method above, but at a minimum you pay your first installment by January 31st.  If you fail to pay the first installment on time, your entire balance of taxes due will be considered delinquent and you will lose the option to pay in installments.  Interest and penalty will begin accruing on the entire tax amount until it is paid in full. 

Your address for property taxes is maintained by the Iowa County Treasurer's Office.  The fastest way to update your address is to submit a request an address change online by using the Ascent program. Simply search your property (by name, PIN, or address) and at the top of the page under "Mailing Address" click "Request Mailing Address Change".
