Village Mill Rate $5.85 $5.79 ($0.06)
Mill rates are a type of levy set by local goverments every year to calculate property taxes. A
single mill is equal to one dollar of tax for every 1,000 dollars of a property’s assessed value. If a
home has an assessed value of $200,000 dollars, we would divide that number by 1,000 (to get
200) and multiply that number by the mill rate to get the annual property tax bill.

FY 2027 Operating & Capital Budget 7
Departmental Summary
Tax Increment District (TID) No. 6 is being created by the Village of Mount Horeb under the
authority provided by Wisconsin Statute Section 66.11 -5 “Tax Increment Law” to eliminate
blight and stimulate redevelopment of underutilized property on the Village’s east side. One
site currently houses the now empty and defunct Karakahl Inn building, has not adapted to
changing conditions and now lags in growth and economic dynamics. The purpose and
intent of the TIF District is to stimulate investment to redevelop and revitalize this property
along the commercial corridor of Springdale St.
A map of the proposed TID No. 6 boundary follows in Section 3. The TID area includes the
former Karakahl Inn site as well as the vacant parcel directly west across Perimeter St. The
district is being created as a Redevelopment District based on the finding that at least 50%
of area by real property within the district is blighted within the meaning of Wisconsin Statute
Section 66.1105(2)1a as described below:
A blighted area means any of the following: “An area, including a slum area in which the
structures, buildings or improvements, which by reason of dilapidation, deterioration, age or
obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitati on, or open spaces,
high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which endanger
life or property by fire or other causes, or any combination of these factors is conducive to ill
health, transmission of disease, infant mortali ty, juvenile delinquency, or crime and is
detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or welfare” .
The Village recognizes that the creation of TID No. 6 is necessary to facilitate the orderly
redevelopment of the subject parcels.
2027 Budget Highlights
The 2027 TIF District No.6 budget reflects a 100% decrease from 2026 as there are no
documented expenditures. There is a TIF agreement in review now for the former Karakahl
Inn.
Reductions
Eliminated Debt Issuance Costs and TID Planning Costs.
Additions
