Factors Impacting Budget
Overreliance on Property Taxes
Wisconsin relies too heavily on property taxes to
fund essential services like local governments and
schools. More than 62% of local government
funding and 43% of school funding comes directly
from property taxes.
The cost of property taxes is hitting a breaking
point. Wisconsin’s average annual property tax bill
is roughly $5,000 — more than double the national
average of just over $2,000.
Wisconsin REALTORS® Association: A Breaking
Point: Property Taxes and the Need for Reform
Wisconsin municipalities rank seventh
nationally among states for being the most
reliant on the property tax for their revenues.

Municipal Services Payment
The purpose of the Municipal Services Payments (MSP) Program is to make an equitable annual payment
to Wisconsin municipalities from a specific State Appropriation, in recognition of critical services directly
provided to State agency and UW System facilities located therein during the prior calendar year.
2024 Reimbursement 37.62% 2025 Reimbursement 51.8%
Oshkosh estimated payment for 2025 is $1.4 million, an increase of ~$300,000

Levy Limits
What are levy limits?
Levy limits prevent counties, cities, towns, and villages from raising their basic levy (which is a kind
of tax) by more than the increase in net new construction from last year to this year. This ensures
that tax increases are tied to the net growth in new construction. Includes Tax Increment District
(TID) activity.
Value is compared to total equalized value to calculate a percentage change.
What is net new construction?
The net year-to -year change in the value of real estate over a specific period. Building new and
improved buildings increases this number; demolishing buildings reduces this number.
It has nothing to do with the change in cost of goods and services year-to -year (i.e. CPI).
$47,000,000 $47,560,096 $45,733,482 $43,892,500
2024 Levy Limit 2023 Levy Limit 2022 Levy Limit 2021 Levy Limit
(2025 Budget)(2024 Budget)(2023 Budget)(2022 Budget)
Levy Limits and Debt Adjustment
Note: 2018, 2021, and 2025 also had TID closures which impacted the net new construction percentage.
