Property Taxes

Village of Mount Pleasant 2025 Real Estate Tax Bills will be mailed in December 2025. 

Tax bills and receipts are available online from Racine County. If you have questions about your tax bill, you may email, call, or visit the Village Clerk/Treasurer’s office in person at Village Hall. Please note that, due to high call volumes and in-person traffic during tax collection, it is recommended that you leave a message if your call goes to voicemail. 

A 2025 Property Tax Facts sheet (PDF) explains how annual amounts are determined, why a property's payment may have changed since last year.
