Dec. 3, 2025 – State Bar of Wisconsin members have the option to pay their Wisconsin Supreme Court assessments and State Bar dues for the next fiscal year over a six-month period.

Fiscal year 2027 (FY27) covers July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. Statements are typically sent out in early May, with final payments due by July 1.

The prepayment plan gives members the option to pay FY27 assessments and dues over six months, beginning in January 2026. In June, a final payment is made through the online payment portal.

There are no administrative fees to participate in the plan. If you have any questions, please review the prepayment plan FAQs on Wisbar.org for full details.

To enroll in the plan, you must sign up by Jan. 9, 2026.
