How these numbers are made
  • Property tax: Walworth County's 2025 net mill rates for district 121 (Village of East Troy), applied to the Census median home value; the school rate is the school district rate less the school levy tax credit (0.0074164810 - 0.0013459230).
  • Water: $24.00 quarterly meter charge plus $43.32 quarterly public fire protection for a 5/8-inch meter, divided by 3, then $5.25 per 1,000 gallons. Sewer: $105.52 quarterly divided by 3, plus $9.68 per 1,000 gallons.
  • Garbage and recycling is the $209.92 annual special charge set for the 2025 tax roll (every-other-week recycling), shown per month; it is on the tax bill. The 2026-roll charge was not yet published on the village site, in the village minutes or on its fee schedule as of 2026-10-31.
  • Electric is We Energies' Rg1 daily charge ($0.49315 x 365 / 12) plus $0.19342 energy, $0.00199 fuel and $0.00052 environmental control per kWh. Natural gas is not included: the We Energies gas tariff and village pages do not confirm which gas utility serves East Troy homes (a business-directory page says We Energies serves commercial customers), so no gas section is shown.
  • Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
