City of Milwaukee Public Records

To search City of Milwaukee Records go to:

http://www.ci.mil.wi.us/

Here you will find property record information and city citations. Click on "property information" to search for information regarding homeowner records and taxes owed. Click on "pay a municipal court judgement" for information regarding citations that were issued to either a person or business in the City of Milwaukee. The great thing about the "pay a municipal court judgement" feature is that you can conduct a name search with only two letters of the last name. Keep in mind that sometimes a person's name can be misspelled even in court records. So you have to learn how to use a wild card feature.
