2019 Municipal Financial Report – Upcoming May 15 Due Date

May 14, 2020

To: Municipal Clerks and Treasurers, County Clerks and Treasurers


The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) would like to remind you of the upcoming May 15 due date for electronic filing (e-filing) the Municipal Financial Report (MFR) forms.

Note: DOR automatically granted an extension to May 15 for all municipalities and counties. You do not need to send a request for extension.

The MFR forms are available in My DOR Government Account from the Financial Reports web page. Make sure to e-file the correct MFR form.

  • Form CT – for towns (without proprietary funds)
  • Form C – for cities and villages (and towns with proprietary funds)
  • Form A – for counties

Late filing or no filing

  • Late filing – under current state law (sec. 86.303 (7)(a)(b)(c)(d), Wis. Stats.), if DOR does not receive a complete and accurate form by the due date, your municipality will be charged a late filing penalty which reduces your General Transportation Aid payments
  • No filing – if DOR does not receive your form, we may request that a Certified Public Accountant complete the form using your municipal records. Your municipality is charged for this service.

Due to system maintenance, My DOR Government Account will not be available from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. today, Thursday, May 14. We apologize for any inconvenience.
