3lands.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a county may appropriate money to a municipality and
school district in an amount that is equal to the amount which would have been paid
in municipal and school tax on certain lands if those lands were privately owned. The
lands for which such payments may be made include lands on which county farm,
hospital, charitable or penal institutions or state hospital, charitable or penal
institutions are located. The valuation of the lands, without buildings, is made by
the county board. In calculating the valuation, current law prohibits the inclusion
of lands on which a courthouse or jail is located and prohibits the inclusion of
unimproved county lands.
Under this bill, a county board may appropriate money to a municipality and
school district in an amount that is equal to the amount which would have been paid
in municipal and school tax on unimproved county-owned lands if those lands had
been privately owned.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
