The Village of Belleville collects taxes for six (6) taxing jurisdictions: the State of Wisconsin, Dane County, Green County, Belleville School District, Madison College (aka Madison Area Technical College), and the Village of Belleville. Residents can expect to receive their tax bills in early to mid-December.
