Manitowoc County, WICounty

Manitowoc County's Veteran's Services office is at the Michigan Avenue Campus, 1701 Michigan Avenue, Manitowoc WI 54220, phone (920) 683-4055, fax 920-683-5135, email [email protected], open Mondays 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., appointments encouraged. The director is Todd Brehmer, with assistant CVSO Aimee Cook. The county's monthly newsletter is "The Veterans Compass", and the office maintains a directory of eighteen local veteran organizations. The aid commission, itemized. The county's Veterans Service Commission - codified at county code 2.02(16), though with stale statute citations - meets the second Tuesday monthly at the VSO, holds private-conference hearings, and its minutes itemize the grants: a $1,304.79 property tax payment (January 2026), $1,156.50 toward a $2,513.82 mortgage (October 2025), $50 gas and grocery cards, from a relief fund that ran from about $17,000 to roughly $4,344 during 2025. County code 2.02(24) codifies the office. A warning from the board. On July 21, 2026, the county board voted 23-1 to eliminate the vacant 1.0 FTE Veteran Services Officer position and replace it with a lower-graded Benefit Specialist - a structural downgrade worth knowing when the office's wait times matter. The register of deeds records discharges free under section 45.05, but the county publishes no page about it. The office's transportation is brokered: the DAV van to Milwaukee (877-204-7970, option 5) and the "Rides to Cleveland" line (920-686-6977). County parks charge $28 a night camping with no veteran discount. No stand-alone veterans court sits in Manitowoc County; its cases go to the Sheboygan Area Veterans Court - see the county's veterans treatment court entry.
