Does the Village get to impose more taxes if my assessed value increases?

No. In 2010 the State of Wisconsin set limits on the amounts taxing jurisdictions can impose each year. Currently those limits restrict taxing jurisdictions ability to increases taxes to the percentage of net new construction. This includes new houses and building projects that added completely new value to the Village. There are exceptions to the levy limit that include new debt service, annexations, and a variety of other exceptions. The full list of exceptions can be found in Wisconsin State Statute 66.0602(3).
