License Plate Renewal

When you receive your License Plate Renewal Notice, take a close look at the “Vehicle Kept In” line. It is very important that it says: COUNTY OF WAUKESHA, TOWN OF BROOKFIELD.

Many of our Waukesha and even Brookfield addresses aren’t displaying correctly and it means portions of state shared revenue are not going to the town. The address is also used for determining the town population. Let’s get our share and be counted!
