Your property tax is reasonable because you're not in a major city or zip code that's full of idiots doing stupid things. I'm in the latter and the Mayor of our small city has contacted the state and USPS, to change the Zip Code so insurance costs will decrease. If I lived in the Zip Code across the river, my auto insurance would be 35% lower.
That is absolutely correct and in Rock County. My sister-in-law lives Dane County, the furthest south of Madison, in a home in the country, and her taxes are astronomical. We have Acuity Home and Auto Insurance, WI based company. Cincinnati Insurance company might have better rates. Our insurance agent is local.
Wife was raised in Shorewood and me, Whitefish Bay. After I got out of the AF in 67', my first civilian job was in Brown Deer, Badger Meter, Production Control Scheduler. 79' we built our second home and moved to Racine. 2005, moved to Janesville, WI to care for in-laws and retired late 2008.
Back in the late 60's thru 78' we and the kids ate at Kopps. Wife and I, sure miss Kopps burgers, fries, and Malted Milks, Last time, we were back, was around 2015.
Sorry, Stole this thread....All I can say is, we live in a WI. rural county, with the largest city having 70,000 or so, where we live.
