Voting Procedures

• Registration – All voters in the Town of Greenville need to be registered to vote. You may register any time during office hours (8:00 - 4:30 Monday - Friday) or at the polls. We recommend you register in the office before the Presidential Election in November. We need proof of identification such as a driver license. If your driver's license does not have your current address, bring a piece of mail with your current address on it. The new registration form requires your drivers license number. There may be a wait at the polls if there is a large voter turnout.
• Polling Place and hours – All wards in the Town vote at the Town Hall. Polls open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. The polling place is accessible to the handicapped and elderly.
• Absentee ballots – An absentee ballot may be obtained by calling the Town office or coming in personally. You need to fill out an application for a ballot. A ballot will then either be given to you personally or sent in the mail. If in person, the ballot must be completed in the office.

Dog Licensing

All dogs must be licensed at the age of five months. We are specifically looking for the rabies vaccination. You must show proof of this. New licenses are available generally around mid December and must be obtained by March 31st. According to State Statute 174.05 (2), Dog license tax is $8 for a neutered male dog or spayed female dog, upon presentation of evidence that the dog is neutered or spayed, and $12 for an unneutered male dog or unspayed female dog.

Licenses can be obtained at the Town Hall during office hours. Any dog registered after March 31st will be charged a late fee unless it is a new dog.

Dog tags can also be obtained when paying your property tax bill. Please write a separate check for the dog tag. We can do this through the mail. Provide proof of the rabies vaccination. We can mail the rabies certificate back to you. Please state the name, color, sex and breed of the dog.

All dogs in the Town of Greenville must be kept in their owners yard at all times. Dogs are required to be on a leash when not in the owners yard. Excessive barking will not be tolerated.

If you have a complaint about a dog, you should contact the Town Constable. The Constable will contact the owner of the animal. If the violation persists, a formal complaint can be filed. A certified letter will be sent to the owner of the animal. If the violation still persists, a citation may be issued

Payment of Taxes

Tax bills are sent out in December. The first installment is due on January 31st. This needs to be paid to the Town of Greenville. Payment by mail is preferred. If you would like a receipt, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Refunds will not be made on the spot no matter how small. Refunds are generally mailed within one week.

Dog licenses can be obtained at the same time you pay your taxes. Please issue a separate check for the dog tag and one for the taxes. This can also be done by mail. We will send the dog tag as well as the receipt for your taxes generally within one week. Please send proof of vaccination, and list the name, sex, breed and color of the dog.

We will no longer accept cash for payment of taxes.

If paying your taxes in installments, the second installment is due July 31st. The second installment should be paid to the Outagamie County Treasurer. We cannot accept any tax payments at the Town.

The Town office is closed on December 24th and closes at noon on December 31st. The last day for collections in January is the last working day of the month. If January 31st falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the office is not open for collections.
