How these numbers are made

Property tax uses the county's 2025 rates for the Village of Elm Grove in the Elmbrook district: Village 4.90, county 1.38, technical college 0.27 and school 6.84 less the 1.33 state credit, per $1,000, on the Village's median single family house value of $630,000.
Sewer ($695.13), stormwater ($143.95) and trash and recycling ($384.25) are the Village's 2026 residential user fees, which the Village says are added to the property tax bill for sewer and stormwater; the trash fee is counted once, as a monthly twelfth.
Water: nearly all Elm Grove homes use private wells and have no water bill. The page's water line models the few connected properties using Brookfield's quarterly meter charge and public fire protection charge (each divided by 3) and volume tiers, each raised by the 25% surcharge for customers outside the City; set water use to zero for a well.
Electric and gas use the We Energies Rg1 and Rg-1 rates for Waukesha County.
The page's default water use (9 units a month) models a connected home; the checker cannot accept a sourced zero for typical use, so a well home should set water use to zero.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
