Installment payments: you may extend one-half of your real estate taxes to July 31, 2012 on certain parcels with the first installment paid no later than January 31, 2012 to the Town Treasurer. Please make this check or money order payable to the Town of Lebanon. The balance must be sent directly to and made payable to the Dodge County Treasurer, Courthouse, Juneau, WI 53039, by July 31, 2012. No reminder will be sent, so be sure to mark your calendar. Please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope for your receipts from the county. With budget cuts the county may not return them without an envelope.

If you feel that you are eligible to receive the lottery credit and it is not on the tax bill which includes your primary residence call me and I will get you the proper forms. Dog licenses: all dogs five months or older living in the Town of Lebanon must be licensed by March 31, 2012. A late fee of $5 will be collected if the owner does not obtain a license by that date. If a new dog is acquired after that date, you must obtain a license within 30 days. Rates are $5.00 for neutered males or spayed females; $10 for unneutered or unspayed. State Law requires all dog owners to provide a current rabies certificate of vaccination. If you have a renter with a dog, please give them notice of these requirements.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. This year you may also contact me by email at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you and Happy Holidays.

Sincerely,
Jon Schoenike
