Menominee County page links flood, health and development resources
One county page now bundles tax warnings, flood and radon guidance, mental-health links and development notices for Keshena, Neopit and beyond.
Menominee County residents can now pull tax warnings, flood guidance, health supports and development notices from one page instead of chasing them across departments, Facebook posts or word of mouth. The county’s News and Events page has become a practical bulletin board for Keshena, Neopit, Zoar and South Branch, especially in a county that covers about 360 square miles, roughly 223,500 acres of heavily forested land, and sits beside the Menominee Indian Reservation.
A central page for daily county life
Menominee County identifies four main communities, with Keshena and Neopit as the two main villages, Zoar as a smaller village and South Branch as a more scattered community. When services, notices and deadlines are spread across a small county like this, one missed post can mean a late property tax payment, a missed chance to order a radon test kit or a family overlooking school internet support.
The page pulls together county government updates, public health information, emergency guidance and regional partnerships on one page.
The notices residents should be watching
Several of the page’s current links deal with issues that can have immediate financial or health consequences. The property tax notice warns that a nationwide U.S. Postal Service postmark change introduced in August 2025 could affect when mailed tax payments are marked as received. The county treasurer page repeats that warning and directs property owners to keep the office informed if their mailing address changes, with Lona Tourtillott listed as the contact for property tax questions.
Other links focus on environmental risk and disaster preparation. Residents who live in flood plains may obtain National Flood Insurance Program coverage, with single-family building coverage up to $35,000 and contents coverage up to $10,000. Radon is odorless and invisible, can cause lung cancer over time, and can be tested with kits ordered through Marathon County, which the county identifies as its regional Radon Information Center. Those kits come with no shipping fees.

Residents can use the page to keep track of:
Health support and family services sit alongside the alerts
The page is also a gateway into human services. Menominee County Human Services administers programs for families, adults and children dealing with mental health, substance abuse and disability issues. Its behavioral health work includes outpatient services for conditions that affect physical health, psychological functioning or socioeconomic adaptation.
That support network extends beyond county lines. NAMI Wolf River Region serves Shawano and Menominee counties and provides both a 24-hour county crisis line and 988. Supported by NAMI Wisconsin, its stated mission is to improve quality of life for people affected by mental illness and promote recovery. The county’s page also points to a peer-support Zoom option, with peer support specialist Dave Zanon and Advocacy Coordinator Autumn Nordall named in the notice.
Other links widen the county’s family-services reach. The page includes CLTS readiness materials, children’s savings accounts for Native youth and free internet access for eligible K-12 students. The county’s internet offer includes a free mobile hotspot device, no fees, no annual recertification and 200GB of high-speed data per year for five years. Eligibility includes families participating in NSLP, SNAP or EBT, TANF, Medicaid, Head Start, foster care, migrant programs, homeless services, runaway youth services and FDPIR.
Development work in Keshena and Neopit is still active
The page also carries a SPARC community-input request on Keshena and Neopit development needs.
In late December 2024, the College of Menominee Nation and the architectural firm EUA held listening sessions with Neopit community members about remodel plans for the CMN Neopit Outreach Center. The college later said the remodel plans were building on the ideas and needs identified in those sessions, and it separately announced a December 5, 2024 community meeting to gather input on the future use of a tribal office building it had purchased.
Menominee County’s stated mission is to provide quality services with dignity and respect while honoring community culture and heritage and preserving natural resources. Its land and water resource management plan was first developed in 2001 and approved in 2017 for implementation from 2018 to 2027.
