Why doesn’t Dodge County want additional property tax revenue

To the Editor:

A 5-home subdivision on our wooded, non-tillable property makes sense. The 33-acre

parcel is located on County Road 16, in the Byron School District.

By the Numbers:

$27,000+ in property tax income/year for a 5-home subdivision

0 acres of tillable land would be lost

$0.00 cost to county/township to plow/maintain subdivision cul-de-sac (HOA)

13 acres of the property will remain in natural state (over 1/3 of the property)

Why doesn’t Dodge County want the additional property tax dollars?
