Learn moreA property tax rate below the Wisconsin statewide average
Hudson's median effective property tax rate (1.26%, Ownwell) runs below Wisconsin's own 1.43% statewide median -- a real, disclosed positive, even though the median annual tax bill ($4,714) still runs well above the $2,400 national median tax bill given Hudson's above-average home values. St. Croix County's own median effective rate ran a higher 1.40%.
Wisconsin's 4-bracket income tax applies statewide
Wisconsin's real, 4-bracket progressive state income tax (3.50%, 4.40%, 5.30%, and a top rate of 7.65% on income over $315,310 for single filers, 2026) applies in Hudson exactly as it does statewide, with no local piggyback layer.
