Property Taxes

The property tax process begins with assessment.  The assessment represents the value of the property as of January 1 of a given year.  If a property’s assessment changes, property owners are sent a notice of assessment around March.  After receiving this notice, property owners have a limited period of time to discuss the assessment with the assessor and appeal to the Village’s Board of Review if needed.  This is important because the property tax is calculated based on this assessment.  After the period for appeal has passed, it would normally be too late for the property owner to appeal the amount of property tax.  The Village of Holmen contracts its assessor services with Associated Appraisal Services.  They may be contacted at 1-920-749-1995.  You can view assessment details of Village of Holmen properties on the Associated Appraisal website when you do a Property Search; select La Crosse County to begin.

All overlying jurisdictions complete a budget and submit their levy amounts to the Village for use in calculating the overall tax rate.  The following jurisdictions make up the total tax rate for the Village: Village of Holmen, School District of Holmen, Western Technical College, County of La Crosse, State of Wisconsin.  The following pie chart indicates the appropriate portion of taxing jurisdictions.
