Community College
Postsec. | Relates to school district revenue limits and levy limits for cities, villages, towns, counties, and technical college districts. Generally, the bill prohibits a political subdivision from increasing its levy by a percentage that exceeds the percentage change in the political subdivision's equalized value due to new construction, less improvements removed, not including any such changes in a tax incremental district (TID). In addition, the calculation of a city's, village's, or town's levy does not include any tax increment that is generated by a TID. With regard to technical college districts, the levy limit is the levy for the previous year multiplied by 1.026. The bill contains exceptions to the levy limit for political subdivisions that transfer the provision of services, for cities or villages that annex town territory, and for a county levy that relates to a county Children with Disabilities Education Board. The levy limit may also be exceeded if a political subdivision's or technical college district's resolution to do so is approved in a referendum. A town with a population of less than 2,000 may exceed the levy limit if a resolution to do so is approved by an annual or special town meeting. The levy limits do not apply beginning three years after the effective date of the bill. http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2005/data/AB-58.pdf
