Lake Nebagamon, WI – In light of the recent property tax assessments that have impacted
residents across our community, Representative Angie Sapik is calling for support to help
alleviate the financial burden on Superior residents. Recognizing the challenges and concerns
that have arisen, Rep. Sapik is proposing a local ordinance to create a more flexible payment
plan for property taxes.
“Everyone has felt the impact of these property tax assessments,” said Rep. Sapik. “Elected
officials from both sides of the aisle need to band together to find our way through this and
help residents.”
Rep. Sapik is proposing an ordinance that would allow Superior residents to make monthly
installments on their property taxes through January 31, 2026. This flexible payment plan aims
to provide much-needed relief and ensure that residents can manage their financial obligations
without undue stress. In addition to the flexible payment plan, Rep. Sapik is urging the city of
Superior to consider implementing a policy of no penalties for late payments through January
31, 2026. This measure would further support residents by giving them the time and flexibility
needed to meet their tax obligations without the added pressure of penalties.
“We have to prioritize the well-being of our residents and provide them with the support they
need during these challenging times and come up with solutions that are helpful,” added Rep.
Sapik. “Having property assessments for the first time in 19 years has led to a disastrously
inflated tax bill. State law mandates that properties are assessed at a minimum every five years
and Superior failed to do this for almost two decades. Trying to alleviate 2025 taxes does nothing for the city of Superior right now. We need payment options to help people through this immediate issue, and I look forward to hearing from the city council on this or an amended
ordinance to do just that.”
Rep. Sapik encourages everyone to reach out to their council members and urges them to write
and support an ordinance that would alleviate penalties and payment due dates. Superior City Council member contact information listed below:
