Property Tax Calculation
The figures presented here are all from official sources. However, other factors, about which we have no data, may affect the property tax calculation.
Market Value
The fair market value of property in the Waukesha County is an estimate of its market value as of January 1st in the assessment year. It is the property's assessed value divided by an assessment ratio. The ratio for this property is currently 70.58%. However, estimated fair market value is a less reliable estimate than the one prepared by the assessor and it is not used in the calculation of property tax.
Assessed Value
Assesed value is placed on a property by the municipal assessor for purposes of taxation. The assessed value is used to determine the property tax amount and may be below the current market value of the property.
Exemptions and Taxable Value
Exemptions are available in Waukesha County, which may lower the property's tax bill. These are deducted from the assessed value to give the property's taxable value.
Unfortunately, no data regarding the exact exemption value was provided to us. Therefore, taxable value will be equal to the assessed value.
Property Tax
Base tax is calculated by multiplying the property's assessed value by the total millage rate applicable to it and is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from any exemptions and special charges would pay. The rates are expressed as millages (i.e the actual rates multiplied by 1000).
Current tax is obtained by deducting the applicable credits such as lottery credit, school credit, first dollar credit and other factors and represents the amount the present owner is paying.
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs or to non ad-valorem taxes.
