State property owners are facing the highest school property tax increase in more than 30 years.
The Wisconsin Policy Forum notes that gross K-through-12 school property taxes jumped nearly eight-percent this December. The month also saw the biggest jump in tax levies for all local governments since 2018. This increase stems from voter-approved referendums and the last two state budgets. Local officials are concerned that rising taxes may affect residents’ ability to stay in or move to communities.
