Wisconsin property tax rates by town, village and city

What the figures are

This page reproduces the Department of Revenue's full value gross rate and full value effective rate for every Wisconsin town, village and city, with the full value, total property tax and assessment level they come from. The gross rate is all property tax levied in the municipality (school, technical college, county, local and other) divided by its full value; the effective rate subtracts the state property tax credit first. Both are rates on full (equalized) value, an average over the municipality, not the rate printed on a bill. Period: taxes levied in 2025 and collected in 2026, from the Department of Revenue's 2025 Town, Village and City Taxes bulletin (Excel edition, October 2026).

Unit. The bulletin prints the rates as decimal fractions of full value (for example 0.01343). This page multiplies them by 1,000 to show dollars per $1,000 of full value ($13.43); that conversion is ours. On every row the gross rate equals total property tax ÷ full value and the effective rate equals (total property tax − state property tax credit) ÷ full value, rounded to five decimals (checked). (2025 Town, Village and City Taxes, column headings "FULL VALUE GROSS RATE" and "FULL VALUE EFFECTIVE RATE")

Assessment level. "PERCENT ASSM'T LEVEL": a municipality's assessed values as a percentage of full value. A bill is figured on assessed value at the municipality's own assessed rate, which differs from the full value rate wherever this level is not 100%. (2025 Town, Village and City Taxes)

• A full value rate is a municipality-wide average across school districts and special districts; neighbours on different school districts pay different amounts.
• 121 rows are the county parts of a municipality that lies in more than one county (the bulletin's SPLIT marker); each part is shown with its own figures.
• The bulletin's class totals are $11.49 for towns, $14.34 for villages and $17.43 for cities per $1,000 of full value (gross).
• Low rates in northern lake towns (Vilas and Oneida counties) and Paris in Kenosha County come from high full values there; they lie inside this page's outlier fence and are ranked as printed.

Counties, 2025

For each county: the county gross rate per $1,000 the source prints, the county effective rate per $1,000 the source prints, the number of municipalities listed, and the lowest, median and highest full value gross rate among them (per $1,000 of full value). Flagged rows are left out of these figures. The median and range are our summary of the rows on this page, not figures the source publishes. Click a heading to sort; click a county to jump to its list.

Highest and lowest municipalities

The ten highest and ten lowest of the 1,905 municipalities ranked statewide by full value gross rate, as printed.

Every municipality, county by county

Each list is in the source's figures, highest full value gross rate first within the county; † marks a flagged row, listed after the others. Open a county to see its rows.

Rows shown as printed but checked

Every row is shown exactly as the source prints it. These 8 failed one of this page's checks, so they are marked † and left out of rankings, medians and the drawings; none was changed.

• City of Ashland (Bayfield part) (Bayfield): Prints a rate of 0, with $0 of full value and $0 of tax. Shown as printed and not ranked.

A bill is figured on assessed value at each municipality's assessed rate, which the bulletin does not print, so no example bill is computed.

How to appeal an assessment in Wisconsin

1. Give the board of review clerk notice of intent to object: written or oral notice at least 48 hours before the board's first scheduled meeting (the board may waive this during the first two hours for good cause); the board meets in the 45-day period beginning the fourth Monday in April (sec. 70.47(1), Wis. Stats.). (source)
2. File the written objection form (PA-115A), with an estimate of value, with the clerk: all objections must be filed within the first five days of board of review hearings. (source)
3. Appeal the board's determination to the Department of Revenue (sec. 70.85, Wis. Stats.; $100 fee; assessed value not over $1,000,000; not available in first-class cities): within 20 days after receiving the determination, or 30 days of the affidavit date if there is no return receipt. (source)
4. Or appeal to circuit court by certiorari (sec. 70.47(13)), or file a claim for excessive assessment with the municipality (sec. 74.37): certiorari within 90 days after receiving the notice of determination; an excessive assessment claim by January 31 of the year the tax is payable, then circuit court within 90 days of a disallowance.

From the Department of Revenue's 2026 guide for board of review members, which cites the statutes named. The guide gives two versions of the timing for filing the objection form; the board's own notice governs. Sources: Wisconsin Department of Revenue, 2026 Guide for Board of Review Members (PB-056, R. 1-26), read October 27, 2026. The official notice and the body hearing the appeal govern the dates; this is not legal advice.
