With property tax bills arriving in mailboxes this week, we have received some questions and comments and wanted to take this opportunity to provide factual information. School finance and funding is a very complex subject to understand. Please reach out with any questions you may have.
On October 18, 2021, the school board set the levy for the 2021-22 fiscal year. The mill rate remained the same as the 2020-21 fiscal year at $10.20 per $1,000 of equalized property value. This would cause property taxes to remain stable if all other factors remain the same. However, there are many variables affecting property taxes including the school district mill rate (determined by St. Croix Central School District), equalized values (determined by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue), and assessed values (determined by local tax assessor). Some taxpayers have received their 2021 property tax statements and are seeing increases up to 10%. Other taxpayers may see their taxes remain stable or possibly decrease.
These fluctuations are due to differences from year-to-year in your property’s equalized value – listed on your property tax statement as fair market value. The State of Wisconsin uses two methods of determining values. The assessed value is an estimate of value within a municipality and can be used to distribute taxes within a municipality. The fair market value or equalized value is used for the school district levy due to the district having multiple municipalities within the district’s boundaries. The levy must then be equalized among all taxpayers of the district to ensure that each taxpayer is paying the correct amount. Due to this equalizing, some taxpayers in the district may see an increase in their school portion of their property tax bill while others may remain the same or see a decrease.

Residents of St. Croix Central School District may be receiving a call offering the opportunity to participate in a telephone survey gathering opinions about a potential April 2022 Referendum. SCC is working with the Morris-Leatherman Company as we did with the Fall 2014 Referendum. The survey calls started on Thursday, November 4th and will continue for approximately 2-3 weeks. Residents will have the option of scheduling an appointment with the survey caller.
The survey is a random scientific sample type. The Morris-Leatherman Company will be calling a number of district residents until they have a predetermined number of responses based on our district population in order to get a scientific sampling of our resident demography. The survey will provide very valuable and reliable information for the Community Task Force and School Board about our current operations as well as to determine if and how to move forward with a potential April 2022 Referendum.
It is our hope that residents who receive a phone call for the survey are able to take the time to provide their opinion and give their valuable feedback. It is a great opportunity for residents to provide their feedback about a number of SCC School District operations.
October is National Principals Month and we want to send a huge THANK YOU to our principals at SCC! Thank you for all you do each and every day! #sccpride
