How these numbers are made

Property tax uses the 2025 net rate of $18.42 per $1,000 for Hales Corners from the Milwaukee County Treasurer's table, on the Census median value of $309,800 times the Village's 93.3% assessment ratio; Wisconsin has no homestead exemption.
Water: Milwaukee Water Works quarterly service $26.52 plus fire protection $11.26, divided by 3, and $3.17 per Ccf.
Sewer ($70.14), refuse and recycling ($210.05 a year, shown per month) and the $50.00 storm water fee are the Village's 2026-budget yearly charges that appear on the tax bill; the MMSD charge is inside the net tax rate.
Electric adds the three per-kWh Rg1 charges; gas uses the Rg-1 effective rate per therm; daily customer charges are annualised.
