Resolution Proposing to Exceed Levy Limit

 

TOWN OF POYGAN BOARD
RESOLUTION PROPOSING TO EXCEED THE LEVY LIMIT VIA TOWN MEETING

Town of Poygan, Winnebago County Resolution No. 2025-03

Whereas, the State of Wisconsin has imposed levy limits on town, village, city, and county levies 
for 2025 and thereafter under Wis. Stat. § 66.0602;

Whereas, Wis. Stat. § 66.0602 limits the allowable local levy for 2025 to a percentage increase of 
no more than the greater of (a) zero percent of the 2024 payable 2025 adjusted actual levy as 
calculated under the state’s levy limit law* or (b) a percentage equal to the percent change in 
equalized value due to net new construction less improvements removed, which for the Town of Poygan 
is 0.152;

Whereas, the town board of the Town of Poygan, Winnebago County, believes that for the 2025 tax 
levy (to be collected in 2026) it is in the town’s best interest to exceed the state levy limit as 
described above by a greater percentage than 0.152%

Whereas, the Town of Poygan’s 2024 payable 2025 adjusted actual tax levy was $306,738 and further 
whereas the state law would limit this year’s increase to $242.00, for a total allowable town tax 
levy after adjustments for 2025 (to be collected in 2026) of $306,980;

THEREFORE, the town board of the Town of Poygan, Winnebago County does hereby resolve and order as 
follows:

1. The town board supports an increase in the town tax levy for 2025 that will exceed the amount 
allowed by the state levy limit.
2. The town board directs that the question of increasing the allowable town tax levy for 2025 (to 
be collected in 2026) by 20.20%, which would increase the town levy by $62,000, for a total town 
tax levy (after adjustments) of$368,980.00 shall be placed on the agenda for the special town 
meeting to be held on November 19, 2025.

Adopted this 22nd Day of October 2025
