County Property Tax Rate Goes Down Again

Last week Tuesday, the County Board voted unanimously on a budget that reduces the County's portion of the 2018 property tax rates.  The actual rate decrease is about $.08 ($.0875 to be precise) per thousand dollars of home value.  This represents a 3.4% reduction in the tax rate.

This means that a home worth $200,000 will see a tax decrease of about $17.50 from the county for 2018.  That's pretty good considering that the county property tax is only 15% of your property tax bill.  It the West Bend School Board and the City of West Bend follow suit, your property taxes will see a nice decrease.
