Mount Horeb Municipal Court may refer your debt to the Department of Revenue for collection. The reference for the State Debt Collection program is located within the section. 71.93, Wis. Stats., which defines refund setoffs for other state agencies. Expansion of this section allows state agencies, the legislature, courts authorities, and local governments to utilize collection tools beyond refund offsets. Included among DOR collection tools is the ability to enter into electronic repayment agreements, attach a debtor's wages or levy a debtor's bank account to secure repayment.
