Estimates from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau confirm that property taxes would increase under the state budget proposal offered by Governor Tony Evers. The bureau released its estimates Tuesday. It says under the Evers budget property taxes would go up by two percent in 2019 and one-point-six percent in 2020. Despite the governor’s ambitious plans for new spending, those taxes would actually go up one-half of a point less than they would under current law. It isn’t likely that the Republican-dominated Legislature will allow Evers budget to make it through unchanged.
