City Treasurer & Assessor

Mobile homes situated on rented land are considered to be personal property. these homes are assigned the same mill rate as real estate, as determined by the taxing agents within the city. These agents consist of the Sparta School District, the State of Wisconsin, Monroe County, Western Wisconsin Technical College, and the City of Sparta. The taxes due for any mobile located on rented land are due on a monthly basis. Within the City of Sparta these taxes are paid to the mobile home park owner, which in turn pays the City.

Payments to the City can be made by cash, check, and money order. Credit card payments are available for real estate tax payments, recreation program fees, and golf course fees. Payments can be made in person at City Hall, mailed to City Hall, or placed in the after hours drop box located next to the doors of City Hall off S Court Street.  Property Taxes, Utilities, Parking Tickets and Parks & Recreation fees may also be paid online.

In such cases the State of Wisconsin considers the tax bill to be delinquent. 1% interest is charged per month retroactive to February (of the year payable) to any unpaid balance until the tax bill is paid in full. Subsequently, this means regardless of any future payments being made in a timely fashion, interest will be charged to these payments.

Typically any payment due to the city can be made at the City Treasurer's Office. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. Any recreation program fees are payable at the Parks & Recreation Office located in the Sparta/Barney Community Center. Any parking or traffic citations can be paid at the Sparta Police Department.
