Bellevue Wheel Tax

The Village of Bellevue enacted a municipal vehicle registration fee (aka wheel tax) to provide the Village a source of funds for special assessment subsidies to property owners, effective May 1, 2019.   

At the same time, the Village put a maximum cap on special assessments  (adjusted for inflation) for road projects.  For projects that do not receive substantial grants, the actual costs exceed the assessment cap.  The wheel tax revenue are used to partially fund the difference between the actual costs and the maximum assessment. 

If you were charged the $20 fee for a vehicle that is not kept in the Village of Bellevue, you may correct the error:

• If registering by mail with the registration card, update the information on the card where it states “Vehicle kept in”..cross off Bellevue and update with correct information.
• Call the Wisconsin Department of Transportation at 608-264-7447 or email at [email protected] to correct.
• Update the “vehicle kept in” information online here: Wisconsin Department of Transportation Update or verify vehicle kept in information (wisconsindot.gov).
