Will my property taxes increase if my assessment goes up?
The Assessor’s job is to place a fair and equitable value on each taxable property in the municipality. An increase or decrease of assessment does not necessarily mean that the amount of taxes you will pay will change. Tax rates are determined by the budgets of the Middleton Cross Plains Area School District, Waunakee Community School District, Madison College (MATC), the State of Wisconsin, Dane County, and the City of Middleton.
