Dodge County Board of Commissioners
The Dodge County Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 13.45% over roll-back rate percent.
All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at 643 Pearl Bates Avenue on September 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. and September 29, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at the Pearl Bates Courthouse Annex on October 6, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 11.00 mills, an increase of 1.304 mills above the roll-back millage rate. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 9.696 mills. The proposed tax increase for a homestead home with a fair market value of $150,000 is approximately $77.20 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $150,000 is approximately $78.24.
