Tax rate down, bills up: Marathon County’s 2027 budget goes to public hearing Monday

The owner of an average-value Marathon County home would pay about $53 more in county property taxes under a proposed 2027 budget up for a public hearing Monday. That increase comes even though the county tax rate would dip by a penny, to $3.48 per $1,000 of equalized value. Rising property values and a $5.02 million jump in the property tax levy, to $66.25 million, push the county’s share of the average homeowner’s bill from $884.33 to $936.92. A home whose value held flat would see a $2 decrease.

Kronenwetter’s village tax rate could rise about 11% by 2028 or 2029 as the village borrows for capital projects, the finance director told trustees Monday. Finance Director and Treasurer John Jacobs said the village’s equalized tax rate, which has fallen the last two years to a proposed $2.71 per $1,000 for 2027, will more realistically land near $3 once a full property revaluation wraps up and the village takes on new debt for capital projects, vehicles and park improvements.
