Sun Prairie Now 3-Year Champ of Property Tax Rates

You may have missed it. The Wisconsin State did it's annual fair comparison of area property taxes. Guess what, chicken butt? Sun Prairie came out on top. Well..technically, Edgerton did, with a $25/$1000 rate. BUT.....that really reflects a correction due to an oops of Sun Prairie School Boardian proportions on last year's tax bills. So... actually, we take the top slot again. Note for those slow on the uptake: being the property tax leader is NOT a good thing.

Oh yeah...but we DID get named one of the top 10 cities for families this past summer. Or did they mean one of the top 10 cities for WEALTHY families.
