[Winona] Property Taxes Over Last Four Years: Star Tribune Article

[LindaF]

While I don't doubt your numbers are correct I don't think you are comparing apples to apples.
My daughter and son in law live in Onalaska.  I am going to look at her tax statement the next time I am at her house.   I believe they are paying higher taxes in Wisconsin because more is taken out of that fund for various projects than in Minnesota.

  While I know that residential property taxes have gone up, especially last year with the school referendum, please keep in mind that homestead property taxes in Minnesota are less than half on a comparably valued home in LaCrosse. I checked the LaCrosse County web site this morning and a house valued at $183,000 had taxes of $4,700. A house in Winona at that value carried a 2006 property tax of just less than $2,000.

  My point--While the increases sure seem to be a bad trend, it could always be worse.
