The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR), State and Local Finance Division would like to remind you of the due dates for e-filing the Municipal Financial Report (MFR).

  • April 1, 2024 – populations under 2,500
  • May 1, 2023 – populations over 2,500
  • May 15, 2023 extension – DOR automatically grants an extension for all municipalities and counties. You do not need to send an extension request.

Form Information

MFR forms are available on our website and e-filed through MyDORGov. Make sure to e-file the correct form.

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

Late Filing or Non-filing

  • Under state law (sec. 86.303(5), Wis. Stats.), if DOR does not receive a complete and accurate form by the due date, your county/municipality is charged a late filing penalty, which reduces your General Transportation Aid payments. This penalty is calculated and imposed by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
  • If DOR does not receive your form, we may request that a certified public accountant complete the form using your county/municipal records. Your county/municipality is charged for this service.
