The state of Wisconsin’s property values and taxes
Published 1 week ago
Description
In December of 2025, property tax levies across Wisconsin collectively went up 5.8 percent – the largest increase in nearly two decades. But the statewide property tax rate declined for the twelfth year in a row, according to the findings from Wisconsin Policy Forum’s 2026 Property Values and Taxes DataTool.
Mark Sommerhauser, communications director and researcher at the Policy Forum, joined our News Producer Faye Parks to go over the latest trends and what they mean for the average taxpayer.
