I checked the Madison assessment site, my property taxes went up over 9%.

Dane County 7.3%
City of Madison 7.0%
MATC 7.3%
Madison Schools 12.0%

Absolutely ridiculous that the taxes go up that much. And we never see an accounting of where the money goes. How can the schools justify a 12% raise in the taxes? Just confirms the tax hell that Dane County is. And all the counties around Dane.

Oh boy, I can’t wait. I’m in Dane County also, but in the Verona Area school district. The new High School will be opening and operational next year, so I am concerned about how much increase in taxes that will bring. I haven’t received my tax bill yet. Seems like it comes later and later each year. It used to be that it would come right around Thanksgiving.

I got mine today, surprisingly Parisi and Evers didn’t bend me over too bad. With the lottery credit and a couple other incentives, mine stayed right where they were last year which is already too f***ing high.

Schools, schools, schools. They are driving the huge increase in property taxes across the area.
