While I don't doubt your numbers are correct I
don't think you are comparing apples to apples.
My daughter and son in law live in Onalaska.
I am going to look at her tax statement the next time I am at her
house. I believe they are paying higher taxes in Wisconsin because
more is taken out of that fund for various projects than in
Minnesota.

While I know that residential property taxes have gone up, especially
last year with the school referendum, please keep in mind that homestead
property taxes in Minnesota are less than half on a comparably valued home in
LaCrosse. I checked the LaCrosse County web site this morning and a house
valued at $183,000 had taxes of $4,700. A house in Winona at that value
carried a 2006 property tax of just less than $2,000.
My
point--While the increases sure seem to be a bad trend, it could always be
worse.
