Real estate levies in this affluent Milwaukee suburb fund essential municipal services such as public safety (police and fire departments), infrastructure maintenance (roads, parks, and public spaces), and education (local schools and libraries). A specific example would be the allocation of a portion of these revenues towards the upkeep of the community’s extensive park system, including Klode Park and its beach on Lake Michigan.
These locally generated revenues play a crucial role in maintaining the high quality of life enjoyed by residents. Historically, stable and predictable revenue streams from these levies have enabled consistent investment in public services and infrastructure, contributing to the village’s desirable character and strong property values. The municipality’s commitment to responsible fiscal management ensures that these funds are utilized efficiently and effectively.
