Summary
The following table shows the tax rates for the City
of Brookfield for 2003.
Some of the rates will change
slightly by the time you get your tax bill because:
- Not every government unit
has finalized their budget.
- There are additional
credits, such as the lottery refund.
- Actual calculations use
more decimal places (round off error)
The school tax rates shown here include the credit
(reduction) from the state.
For a complete listing of all Wisconsin municipality
property tax rates, see the web site of the Wisconsin Taxpayer's Alliance
(WTA) at
http://www.wistax.org
You can also check the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel of
Sunday, January 26, 2003 for a very thorough listing of tax rates in the
Milwaukee metro area.
The WTA also has some interesting information on state
income tax. For example, according to the WTA and based on state
records, for the calendar year 2001:
- Brookfield had 38,823 residents who filed 20,197
Wisconsin income tax returns showing a total adjusted gross income of
$1,729,097,604 or an average of $85,612 per return.
- New Berlin had 38,652 residents who filed 20,413
Wisconsin income tax returns showing a total adjusted gross income of
$1,149,616,731 or an average of $56,318 per return.
- Delafield had 7,964 residents who filed 2,728
Wisconsin income tax returns showing a total adjusted gross income of
$283,586,936 or an average of $103,954 per return.
- Chenequa had 588 residents who filed 207 Wisconsin
income tax returns showing a total adjusted gross income of $88,484,909
or an average of $427,463 per return. (highest in the state)
- Komensky had 464 residents who filed 254 Wisconsin
income tax returns showing a total adjusted gross income of $1,518,964
or an average of $5,980 per return. (lowest in state, located in Jackson
county in central Wisconsin near Adams)
- Whitefish Bay had 14,146 residents who filed 6,928
Wisconsin income tax returns showing a total adjusted gross income of
$662,126,786 or an average of $95,573 per return.
- Wisconsin had 5,400,499 residents who filed 2,656,313
Wisconsin income tax returns showing a total adjusted gross income of
$108,501,988,171 or an avarege of $40,847 per return.
According to the WTA, compared to the other states,
Wisconsin ranks:
- 4th in taxes (income and sales)
- 12th in combined general revenues (income tax, sales
tax, gas tax, registration fees)
- 28th in charges (park fees, developer fees, etc.)
- 31st in miscellaneous revenues (federal grants, etc.)
So, if the state governor and legislators are to keep
their pledge of "no new taxes", they will probably start splitting hairs
about whether raising the motor vehicle registration fee from $45 to, say,
$200 is really a tax. After all, compared to the other states, Wisconsin
is very low in those types of revenues. Just ask someone from Minnesota or
Illinois.
