Wisconsin's 4-bracket income tax applies statewide
Wisconsin's real, flat-structure 4-bracket state income tax (3.54%-7.65% for single filers, 2026, top rate above $315,310) applies in Sturgeon Bay exactly as it does statewide, with no county or city add-on layer.
Statewide insurance range, with a real Door County caveat
No Sturgeon Bay-specific homeowners-insurance premium figure distinct from Wisconsin's own statewide figures was found this pass -- this record uses the same statewide range (roughly $1,367-$2,465/year), though Door County's elevated home values suggest actual premiums for higher-value or waterfront properties may run above this general range.
