The 2.75% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Milwaukee and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Wisconsin average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Milwaukee buyers. Many Milwaukee properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $50/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
