Full property tax 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 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 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. |

With winter here, residents of Glendale need to prepare for the long and cold months ahead. Part of that preparation includes readying your property for winter stormwater management. - Clear the gutters along your roof. Leaves or other debris can contribute to nutrient pollution as well as cause overflow, which could lead to dangerous icicles.
- Disconnect rain barrels from your downspouts, empty them, and cover and store them for the winter.
- Direct your downspout to an area where water won't flood and freeze. Downspouts directed to a rain garden can stay like this through the winter.
- Add mulch to planted areas to insulate and protect their roots.
- Remove excess leaves from rain gardens, storm drains, and ditches so they can drain.
- Some trees and shrubs should be pruned in the winter to avoid fungal infections. Grasses, on the other hand, should be left standing.
- While rain gardens will function to an extent in the winter, don't pile snow in the beds, especially snow from a driveway or walkway that was salted.
Providing winter maintenance on residential landscaping ensures it can manage another rainy spring. Visit www.respectourwaters.org/preparing-for-winter to learn more. |

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 or 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.
