​​​The Wisconsin Department of Revenue's Equalization Bureau issues the Report Used for Apportionment of County Levy. Municipalities and counties use this report to determine a municipality's share of the county levy (tax).

Report includes

• Each municipality's total Equalized Value, minus any tax increment amount, for all property within the municipality
• Portion of the county's value that each municipality represents
• Each Tax Incremental District's (TID) base value, current value and amount of increment

Definitions of terms in the report

1. Equalized Value
   • DOR's full value estimate of the taxable property in a taxation district
   • View values - see Statement of Changes in Equalized Values


2. Tax Incremental District (TID)
   • A TID is a geographic area within a municipality created for development or rehabilitation
   • Increment is any increase in value above the TID's original base value. Taxes generated by the increment are used to pay eligible TID project costs.
     • The overlying school district, technical college and county do not share in the taxes generated by the TID increment until the district is terminated
     • Property taxes of the overlying school district, technical college and county are apportioned based on the Equalized Value minus the TID increment
