USPS Postmark Changes – Paying Property Taxes by Mail: ** PROPERTY TAXPAYERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE ** UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS) POLICY CHANGE REGARDING POSTMARKS If you pay your property taxes by mail, please be aware of a recent U.S. Postal Service policy change that may affect when envelopes are postmarked. In August of this year, the US Post Office announced a new rule that most letters will no longer be postmarked on the day the letter is received by a post office but instead postmarked when the letter is processed at a regional mail processing facility, which can be 1–2 days later (longer on weekends or holidays). If you’re mailing your tax payment: Mail early. Sending payments well in advance of the deadline remains the most reliable method. *On-Line – We now accept ACH & credit card payments* https://ascent.co.walworth.wi.us/LandRecords  Utilize the drop box located on the side of the Town Hall Tax payments that are received late will be considered delinquent if postmarked after the due date.

Sex Offender Press Release

PRESS RELEASE 

Placement of Sex Offender

Date: April 25, 2022

Type: Placement of Sex Offender 

Released by: Chief Raymond Clark

Contact Person: Captain Stefanie Adams – 262-728-8787 Ext 105

Narrative: The following is a press release authorized by a core team made up  of representatives from local law enforcement, Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Department of Corrections.  The core team evaluates and makes decisions on the level of notification to the community for the pending release of sex offenders under Wisconsin Statute 301.46 (Act 440).  Community notification furthers the interest of public safety and it is our belief that a better-informed public is a safer public.   The Town of Delavan Police Department is releasing the following information pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 301.46(Act 440) which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offenders release when that information will enhance public safety, awareness, and protection. The individual who appears on this notification has been convicted of a sexual offense. He is not wanted.  

Anthony R. Teifke age 30 was convicted of First Degree Sexual Assault of a Child and Possession of Child Pornography.  Teifke’s victim was a minor known to him.  As of May 3rd, 2022 Teifke will be residing at 6436 Mound Rd. Delavan, WI.  

Teifke is a lifetime registrant of the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry and will not be allowed to leave the residence unsupervised. Teifke is also required to participate in, global positioning satellite tracking and is subject to frequent, unannounced, random home visits by the Department of Corrections. 

Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated.  Further, such abuse could subject those who commit such acts to criminal penalties, and potentially end law enforcement’s ability to conduct community notification.  We believe the only person who wins if community notification ends is the sex offender, since sex offenders derive their power through secrecy.
