RESOLUTION OF TOWN BOARD PROPOSING TO EXCEED LEVY LIMIT VIA TOWN MEETING

 

Town of Amberg, _Marinette County

Resolution No. 101624

 

           Whereas, the State of Wisconsin has imposed levy limits on town, village, city, and county levies for 2023 and thereafter under Wis. Stat. § 66.0602;

 

           Whereas, Wis. Stat. § 66.0602 limits the allowable local levy for 2025 to a percentage increase of no more than the greater of (a) zero percent of the 2025 payable 2026 adjusted actual levy as calculated under the state’s levy limit law* or (b) a percentage equal to the percent change in equalized value due to net new construction less improvements removed, which for the Town of Amberg is 50%;

 

           Whereas, the town board of the Town of Amberg, Marinette County, believes that for the 2025 tax levy (to be collected in 2026) it is in the town’s best interest to exceed the state levy limit as described above by a greater percentage than 50%);

 

          Whereas, the Town of Amberg’s 2025 payable 2026 adjusted actual tax levy was $305,922. and further whereas the state law would limit this year’s increase to $150,000. for a total allowable town tax levy after adjustments for 2025 (to be collected in 2026) of $455,922.

         

           THEREFORE, the town board of the Town of Amberg, Marinette County does hereby resolve and order as follows:

 

    1. The town board supports an increase in the town tax levy for 2025 that will exceed the amount allowed by the state levy limit.

 

    1. The town board directs that the question of increasing the allowable town tax levy for 2025 (to be collected in 2026) by 50% which would increase the town levy by $150,000. for a total tax levy (after adjustments) of $455,922 shall be placed on the agenda for the special town meeting to be held on November 15, 2025 at 9:00 am.
