With a minor amendment that will add $100,000 to the 2027 St. Croix County budget, the county board has taken one last look at the numbers before a final review in November when it’s expected to be approved.
St. Croix County taxpayers will see the 2027 property tax levy increase by $1.6 million (3.57%), but the mill rate will drop to $2.52 from $2.59 in 2026.
