The Wisconsin Department of Revenue's Equalization Bureau issues the
Report Used for Apportionment of County Levy. Municipalities and counties use this report to determine a municipality's share of the county levy (tax).
Report includes
- Each municipality's total Equalized Value, minus any tax increment amount, for all property within the municipality
- Portion of the county's value that each municipality represents
- Each Tax Incremental District's (TID) base value, current value and amount of increment
Definitions of terms in the report

Tax Incremental District (TID)
- A TID is a geographic area within a municipality created for development or rehabilitation
- Increment is any increase in value above the TID's original base value. Taxes generated by the increment are used to pay eligible TID project costs.
- The overlying school district, technical college and county do not share in the taxes generated by the TID increment until the district is terminated
- Property taxes of the overlying school district, technical college and county are apportioned based on the Equalized Value minus the TID increment
