Village of Allouez Tax Bills for 2021

 

Village of Allouez Tax Bills

Brown County Treasurer’s Office mailed out Village of Allouez tax bills on Friday, December 10th. Payments can be made in person at the Brown County Treasurer’s Office (305 E. Walnut St, Rm: 160) , online www.browncountywi.gov/propertytax or mailed to: Brown County Treasurer, PO Box 23600, 305 E. Walnut St, Green Bay, WI 54305-3600.

If you qualify, did you receive the Lottery Credit reduction on your property tax bill?

The Lottery Credit is displayed on your real estate tax bill as a reduction of property taxes due to qualifying taxpayers.

To qualify for the Lottery and Gaming Credit, you must be a Wisconsin resident, own a dwelling and use it as your primary residence as of the January 1 certification date of the year the property taxes are levied.

If an owner is temporarily absent, typically for a period no longer than six months (ex: hospital, vacation, incarcerated), the primary residence is the home where the owner returns. Principal dwelling means any dwelling the owner of the dwelling uses as primary residence.

A property owner may claim only one primary residence. You cannot claim the Lottery and Gaming Credit on business property, rental units, vacant land, garages or other property that is not the owner’s primary residence (sec. 79.10(1)(dm), (9)(bm), Wis. Stats.).

For more information on the Lottery Credit, go to –https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/FAQS/slf-lottcr.aspx#lc1

Are you interested?

A strong democracy depends on engaged citizens and dedicated competent leaders willing to step forward and serve in public offices. No matter which public office–school board, village board, county board–our public institutions become stronger when interested candidates offer voters choices as to who will represent them.

Whether driven by a passion to address a particular challenge in the community, a realization that you are just as capable (or more!) than the current officeholder, or desire to provide leadership to the community on a broad scale, you will be making a difference. Serving in public office provides the opportunity to use your skills, talents, and experience to be a creative force for positive change in your community.

Who may be a candidate?

The minimum qualifications to hold an office are:

• United States Citizenship
• At least 18 years of age (or older for certain offices)
• Satisfy residency requirement for specific office
• May not have been convicted of a felony in any court in the United States unless pardoned of the conviction

Hydro Helpers

Hydro
The Hydro’s Helpers Program is designed to actively involve your child in helping firefighters, your neighbors, and your community. By agreeing to help care for a hydrant during the winter months, you will help save the Fire Department precious minutes during a fire. The program is intended to keep the child’s interest throughout the winter months, and your child’s efforts will be rewarded in the summer with a certificate of completion. The helper will also be invited to a ice cream social; event details to come at a later date.

Hints, Safety Tips, & Guidelines
1.) Each child should be responsible for one hydrant.
2.) To the best of his/her ability, the child should clear (generally with parent participation):
  • Approximately a 3-4 foot circle around the hydrant and a 3 foot path to the street.
  • This should only be done on quiet, residential streets and also be done with parent supervision.
3.) Report the following to the Water Department:
  • Caps missing or broken
  • Water leaking from your hydrant
    • For City of Green Bay residents call 
      • Green Bay Water Utility (920) 448-3480
    • For Village of Allouez residents call:
      • Allouez Water Department; Water Utility (920) 448-2808
    • For Village of Bellevue residents call:
      • Bellevue Water Department; Water Utility (920) 468-5225
4.) Hydrants will be monitored to be sure your child is a good caretaker.
5.) Do not step into the road while clearing a hydrant; have an adult help you if the plow piles are too high.
6.) If the hydrant you are adopting is across the street, an adult should accompany the child for safety reasons.
7.) If the hydrant is not on your property, be sure to ask your neighbor’s permission first!

**Never step onto the street while shoveling the hydrant. It is best to wear bright clothes!**
Requirements
  • Must live within the City of Green Bay or Village of Allouez or Village of Bellevue
  • Any child that is 17 years old or younger can participate in this program.

2021 Fall Yard Waste Clean-Up

Weather permitting, Fall Clean-Up (the collection of leaves and yard waste) is scheduled from October 18th – November 18th. 

The last day to put yard waste/leaves to the curb for pick up is November 14th. Leaves and yard waste should be placed in separate piles behind the curb – NOT IN THE STREET. Bagged material will not be collected by the Village. If residents wish to bag their yard waste, they will need to contact a private hauler for collection or take the yard waste to the LeBrun Road yard waste site. Leaf Collection map will be posted on our website once fall clean-up begins.

“Yard Waste” is defined by the village as: All materials originating in the yard and garden which are capable of natural decomposition, including leaves and other vegetation. Yard waste cannot include brush, stumps, plant stalks, tree roots, or root balls.

Crews will collect leaves and yard waste throughout the Village following regular garbage collection routes. However, depending on the amount of yard waste placed at the curb, crews will not always be able to pick this material up on the same day as the garbage is collected.

THERE IS NO BRUSH PICK UP DURING FALL CLEAN-UP THEREFORE DO NOT PLACE BRUSH AT THE CURB DURING THIS TIME.

“Brush” is defined by the village as: Trimmings from shrubs, trees, and stalks from garden plants (Rosebush and Bamboo). Brush piles must be free of loose leaves, grass, and yard waste; it cannot include tree roots or root balls.

GREEN GRASS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED BY THE VILLAGE. Green grass can be taken to the yard waste site on LeBrun Road.

LEBRUN YARD WASTE SITE (for Allouez Residents Only!) IS OPEN 24/7 (LeBrun Yard waste is located on Le Brun Street -take East River Drive, or Libal Street, or Webster Avenue south towards De Pere.)

It is not possible to accurately tell residents the exact day their yard waste will be picked up, but once collection begins information will be available on the Village’s website. If additional information is needed, please call the Village Hall at 448-2800 during office hours. Thank you for your cooperation.

Prescription Drug Take-Back Day: October 23, 2021

 


On October 23rd, 2021, the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) will coordinate a Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative throughout Wisconsin. The Prescription Drug Take-Back Day goal is to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal of prescription medications, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications. Unused prescription medications in homes create a public health and safety concern, because they can be accidentally ingested, stolen, misused, and abused.

Unused or expired medicine should never be flushed or poured down the drain. Removing potentially dangerous pharmaceutical substances from our state’s medicine cabinets helps to prevent them from going into our water supply. Water reclamation facilities are not designed to remove all of them and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals are showing up in rivers and lakes around the world.

Bring: Prescription (controlled and non-controlled) and over-the-counter medications, ointments, patches, non-aerosol sprays, inhalers, creams, vials and pet medications.

Do Not Bring: Illegal drugs, needles/sharps, aerosol cans, bio-hazardous materials (anything containing a bodily fluid or blood), mercury thermometers, personal care products (shampoo, soaps, lotions, sunscreens, etc…), household hazardous waste (paint, pesticides, oil, gas)


  • Participants may dispose of solid, non-liquid medication(s) by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into a disposal box or into a clear sealable plastic bag. Plastic pill containers should not be collected. Blister packages are acceptable without the medications being removed.


  • Liquids will be accepted during this initiative. However, the liquids, creams and sprays must be in their original packaging and evenly distributed within the boxes of collected solid prescription medications. Liquids without the original packaging will not be accepted.

  • Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamines are not a part of this initiative and should not be placed in collection containers

  • All participants must retain possession of their own medication during the surrender process. Law enforcement personnel should not handle the medications at any time.
For further information please visit the website
When: Saturday, October 23, 2021, from 8:00A.M.-2:00P.M.
