Ways to pay less

Nothing here applies to every house automatically. These are worth checking:

Bulk item pickup
One bulk item a week can be picked up by arrangement with GFL
How: Call GFL Customer Care at 262.367.6040.
Sewer set from winter use
Sewer usage is set from the first-quarter bill (Jan 16 to Mar 15) and stays constant for the next three quarters, so summer outdoor water use does not raise it
How: See the Sewer Charge section of the village rate sheet.
Village recycling and yard waste center
The recycle center at 701 Progress Drive is open to Village residents only
How: Proof of ID/residency is required.

How these numbers are made

Property tax uses the Waukesha County 2025 table for V. Hartland in the Hartland/Lakeside district: village 3.88, county 1.54, technical college 0.30 and school 6.35 less the 1.18 state credit (5.17), per $1,000 of assessed value (net 10.89).
Starting value is the Census median market value; assessed values run near 82.08% of equalized value in the county table, so the real bill may be lower.
Water: quarterly meter charge $30.78 and public fire protection $34.71 divided by 3, volume tiers per 1,000 gallons with the quarterly breakpoints divided by 3. Sewer: $9.22 per 1,000 gallons with the $73.76 quarterly minimum (about 8,000 gallons a quarter) divided by 3. The village sets sewer from winter use; the page applies it to the month's water use.
Garbage and recycling is the $225 yearly refuse and recycling fee for 2026 on the tax bill, shown as a monthly figure and not repeated in tax fixed charges. The village rate sheet lists no stormwater charge.
Electric uses We Energies Rg1 and gas the We Energies Rg-1 price sheet effective November 1, 2026. Typical use is the utility rate-review assumption of 660 kWh and 865 therms a year. The village has not published a typical water use, so the page default is used.
Tax: typical assessed value = Census median market value 393,100 x 0.8208 (county assessed/equalized ratio) = 322,656, so the assessed-basis net rate of $10.89 applies (about $3,514 a year, matching $8.94 per $1,000 equalized). The Wisconsin lottery and gaming credit is not modeled.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
