As we head into next year and prepare for the elections, I will be posting information on each election as we approach each one. One thing to watch for are registration forms and absentee voter letters or forms you may receive in the mail. It will come with a return envelope and have voter registration applications or applications for absentee voting. These are not sent out by this office, the county clerks office or the state of Wisconsin. My recomendation is to not use these as a large percentage of these are not filled out incorrectly or are missing required information. Which means that I must contact the person who sends it to me and request if be filled out correctly or to provide missing documentation. My recomendation is to either use myvote.wi.gov or to come into my office and fill out the paperwork. myvote.wi.gov takes only a few minutes to fill out and your done. The information on your drivers license or state ID must match your current address. I recommend that you read through the information on our website, it is listed under Government and then click on Election Information. Any questions please call. Thanks Tim Tollefson, Clerk Town of Harmony

2020 Proposed Budget
The attached file is the proposed budget for 2020. Over the next couple of weeks till about November 15th, the budget will adjust as there are several numbers the State provides that at this point are estimates from the state. As I receive these numbers I will enter these on the proposed budget and update it. Then on Nov 18th we will have a budget meeting to approve the levi increase and budget. For those that wonder how their property taxes are spread out I have attached a second file that shows how much the Town of Harmony receives from the property taxes you pay. Just over 8 cents per dollar paid comes to Harmony. Take a look.
