How This Calculator Works
Wisconsin's average effective property tax rate is 1.51% of a home's value each year, the 3rd highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.). On the state's typical home, worth about $295,000, that comes to roughly $4,455 a year, or $371 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Wisconsin's bill on a typical home is the 12th largest of 51, in the top third. On a $350,000 home it would be about $5,285.
Of Wisconsin's neighbors, Minnesota (1.05%), Michigan (1.32%) and Iowa (1.43%) have a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.
These are Wisconsin averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
