How these numbers are made

Property tax: the net rate is the 2025 county, city, Sheboygan Area School District and Lakeshore Technical College levies less the school levy, lottery and gaming, and first dollar credits, divided by the city's assessed valuation excluding TID of $4,820,232,964 (about $14.26 per $1,000). The lottery and first-dollar credits are averaged over all parcels, so an owner-occupied home may pay a little less.
Water: $5.26 service plus $3.37 public fire protection a month for a 5/8-inch meter; the utility bills quarterly and publishes monthly equivalents. Usage is $2.53 per CCF for the first 50 CCF (5,000 cubic feet) a month.
Sewer: $62.50 a quarter ($20.83 a month) fixed plus $2.34 per 100 cubic feet of water use. Garbage $6.25 and recycling $4.75 a month are summed to $11.
Electric adds the Alliant Rg-1 energy charge of $0.17011 per kWh (fuel adjustment 0.000000); the daily customer charge of $0.5260 is annualised. Gas stays WPS: residential firm sales rate of $0.4433 per therm plus $17 a month.
Typical use is the state's utility-wide average from EIA (Alliant/WPL utility-wide, electric) and the Wisconsin residential average (gas). Water use of 9 ccf a month is a modelling assumption; no typical figure was found published. No separate city stormwater utility charge was found in the 2026 fee schedule.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
