Wisconsin's primary local tax: municipal assessors value most property at market value as of Jan 1 (the state assesses manufacturing property and equalizes values across municipalities), and school districts, municipalities, counties, technical colleges and special districts levy on it. School-levy, lottery-and-gaming (primary residence) and first-dollar credits reduce bills; municipal and county levy growth is generally limited to net new construction.

IllinoisInfo
Illinois property tax is not administered by the state — it is assessed and managed locally by cities, counties, townships, and taxing districts. Local officials set assessed values and tax rates, so effective property-tax rates vary widely by locality; contact your local county officials for specifics.

IowaInfo
Iowa has no statewide property tax; it is levied locally on the taxable value of real property. Property is assessed at 100% of market value (agricultural realty is valued on productivity); a statewide rollback can set taxable value below assessed value. Rates are a local composite of county, city, school-district, and special levies, expressed in dollars per $1,000 of taxable value.

MichiganInfo
No statewide rate — the Michigan Constitution requires uniform assessment at no more than 50% of true cash (market) value, and under Proposal A each parcel's taxable value can rise no more than the rate of inflation or 5%, whichever is less. Tax bill = taxable value × locally set millages. Varies by locality.

MinnesotaInfo
Property tax is administered locally by counties, not the state. Local governments (county, city or town, school district) each set a levy, and your bill is based on your property's assessed market value and classification, so effective rates vary widely by location.
