Property tax bills will be mailed on or before December 15, 2021. Full payments are due January 31, 2022. Optional installment payments are due January 31, March 31, and May 31, 2022 respectively. Special assessments and special charges are not eligible for the installment plan and are due January 31, 2022, along with the first installment. We recommend that you mark your calendar so that you are not late for an installment payment because no reminder notices will be sent.

There is a payment dropbox located in the middle of the Police Department Parking Lot. Please note that for mailed payments, the postmark governs the date of payment - not the date on your check. Payments will also be accepted at City Hall Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm, with the following holiday closures: December 23, 24, 30 & 31, 2021. Lastly, a credit card option is available for in-person payments only with an additional 2.9% fee of the payment amount.

All property owners are reminded that Glendale City Ordinance requires all public sidewalks and curb ramps to be kept clear of snow and ice within 24 hours from the time snow ceases to accumulate.

After each inclement weather event, the City will inspect all sidewalks and curb ramps to ensure they are safely passable. If a sidewalk or curb ramp is not safely passable, a notice may be posted or otherwise placed at the property indicating the need to comply with the snow and ice removal requirement within a specific time.

Upon re-inspection, any sidewalk or curb ramp not properly cleared will be cleared by the City with all costs and expenses, including administrative fees and/or ice and salt/sand costs, charged to the property owner or manager as a special assessment. Residents are also asked to help keep area fire hydrants cleared of snow to allow easy access in case of a fire.

Snow Removal Procedures

Based upon the expected snowfall this season, we wish to remind you of the City's long-standing snow removal and salting policy.

Normally, the City does not plow streets unless the total accumulation of snow is 3 or more inches. Anything less is typically covered by salting operations.

Salting operations commence at the request of the Police Department or at the determination of the Public Works Director based upon weather conditions.

Major thoroughfares have first priority. The City does not have a "bare street" program for residential areas. In other words, for residential streets, salting is typically reserved for intersections, hill, mid-blocks and curved roadways.

As much as people would like, it is impossible for City to schedule snow removal times to coincide with their respective snow shoveling or snow removal from their driveways. Plowing streets inevitably will put snow on property owner's driveway approaches. There is no other way to plow snow.

If possible, the major thoroughfares will be plowed and salted by morning. Residential side streets will not be completed until the major streets are completed.

As a reminder the City does not plow or maintain County of State highways located within Glendale. Those streets include North Green Bay Avenue north of West Good Hope Road, West Good Hope Road from North Port Washington Road went to the City limits. West Mill Road, North Milwaukee River Parkway and North Port Washington Road from West Daphne Road north to the City Limits.

The City's 12-person Public Works Department will do all that is humanly possible to clear all City streets in a timely fashion. All snow plowing is done by Public Works Employees.

Please have the appropriate amount of patience and understanding with the Public Works Department in this type of climate.

Be a Hydrant Hero!

As the snowfall continues, we would like to remind you to keep fire hydrants clear of snow and ice. It takes five minutes to shovel out a fire hydrant and those five minutes could turn out to be life saving if a fire breaks out in your home or a neighbor's home. Critical time is wasted when firefighters arrive on the scene of a fire and have to dig out a fire hydrant that has not been cleared of snow or ice.
