Homeowners in the City of Milwaukee may want to check their property tax bills extra carefully this year.

Errors have been found in 2,632 Milwaukee property tax bills, according to the Office of the City Treasurer.

Incorrect "special charges" from the Department of Neighborhood Services were added to those bills due to an improperly formatted data file, the treasurer's office said.

Corrected tax bills are being printed and mailed to the affected taxpayers, city officials said.

The treasurer's office said that DNS gave an improperly formatted data file to a contractor named Tyler Technologies, which then added incorrect totals for "DNS Miscellaneous Special Charges" to some bills.

Those 2,632 bills are being corrected and mailed to the affected property owners.

The treasurer's office also has tax information online.
