Business Personal Property

2023 Wisconsin Act 12 Information

In 2023, the State of Wisconsin passed Wisconsin Act 12. This act exempts certain personal property from taxation for the 2024 assessment / tax year and beyond.

Therefore, your business will no longer receive a business personal property tax bill that is usually received in mid December.

Please note State law remains in effect to distribute and collect 2023 personal property tax bills payable in 2024 and any previous years that may be owed. Any delinquent 2023 business personal property tax bills and years prior to this remain due to the City of Fond du Lac Treasurer’s office. If you would like further information, please see the link below.
