On July 8, 2021, Gov. Tony Evers signed Wisconsin’s 2021-23 state budget into law. The recently passed state budget includes several provisions that are beneficial to homeowners, taxpayers and the real estate industry, including REALTORS®.
The budget includes:
-
A $650 million property tax cut for homeowners: $300 in property tax relief for the typical home.
-
$225 million for broadband expansion in Wisconsin: $177 million more than two years ago for badly needed expansion.
-
$5 million for DSPS technology upgrades to simplify online credentialing. This will improve customer service for license status, affiliation, disciplinary actions and more.
-
Removal of numerous proposals that would have been detrimental to landlord-tenant law in Wisconsin. Reforms passed over the last 10 years remain current law.
These victories were made possible through member advocacy including REALTOR® & Government Day, the Wisconsin Homeowners Alliance and RPAC. Your participation makes a real difference.
