Using recently enacted legislation, village officials were able to mask an assessment error and present a modest 1.75 percent tax levy increase.
With recently enacted legislation addressing an assessment error under their belt, Shorewood trustees approved a budget Monday that calls for a 1.75 percent increase in the property tax levy — the lowest hike in a decade. After months of workshops and navigating the error, which could have added more than $1 million to the levy, the Village Board adopted a $24.1 million budget, a decrease of 1.9 percent from last year, and a $9.6 million levy. Including the levy from four tax incremental financing districts — special taxing districts established as a tool to help spur development — the village tax levy will grow 1.75 percent, up $178,188 from last year. The increase translates into an increase of $36 on the tax bill of a home assessed at $…

However, County Executive's proposal for 2012 would cut Sheriff's Department spending by $14 million.
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele Thursday presented a $1.2 billion budget for 2012 that freezes the property tax levy at last year's level and cuts spending by 5.6 percent. In unveiling the plan, Abele described the budget as an “honest” document that does not include any revenue from potential land sales or overly optimistic projections about earning or expenses. While he didn’t go into every detail, Abele focused on four major budget areas in county government. While the 2012 budget proposal still devotes 49 percent of spending to public safety, Abele said it’s time for the Sheriff's Department, which has seen a 62 percent funding increase since 2001, to tighten its belt. He's calling for a $14 million cut on spending in the …

If the state does not fix the error, Shorewood property owners could see a 5.8 percent increase on next year's property tax bill.
Village property taxes could increase by 5.8 percent in 2012 due to an accounting error that misrepresented the value of the village’s business district. The error came when the value of the village's Tax Incremental Financing District No. 1, which blankets much of the business district, was recorded and published by the state Department of Revenue as $76.7 million too high, according to village officials. As a result, the amount the village levies in property taxes next year could be set artificially high, as it must be based on the total equalized value of property in Shorewood published by the Department of Revenue. If the error can't be fixed, all property owners could have to contribute an extra 5.8 percent in property taxes to …

With millions on the table for funding sewer repairs and School District referendums, what does that mean for you, the taxpayer?
With a $13 million School District referendum approved for the April 5 ballot, and an ambitious $71.5 million plan proposed by village officials for much needed sewer repairs looming, what does that mean for the taxpayers’ pocket book? In other words, if everything goes through, how much more is it all going to cost you? Well, including both measures, on the property tax bill for a home assessed at $300,000, you can expect to pay an additional $336 next year. However, that isn't the only place you can expect to fork out more. Paying for sewers will increase more than just your tax bill — it will hit your pocketbook in a variety of ways. Based on that same $300,000 home value, your sewer fee will increase next year by $37, storm water user …
