Whatever happened to this cherished principle?
Headline: Wisconsin State Journal, 9/21/2024
In 2011, a state law enacted under former Gov. Scott Walker barred cities from increasing their property tax levies beyond the added value of net new construction — unless they ask voters directly. That cap is still in place. When allowable tax increases are based solely on construction value, “you cannot keep up with both inflation and a growing community,” Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said. “It’s just not possible.” In Monona, which is bordered by Madison on all sides and has very little room to grow outward, net new construction translated to a levy increase of $25,000 for 2025, Mayor Mary O’Connor said.
