The City of Oshkosh is presenting its 2025 proposed budget, asking for a tax levy increase, more public safety spending and funding for two DNR-mandated projects.
- The 2025 proposed budget is about 33% higher than the 2024 final budget.
- The proposed budget shows an increase of 2.83% of the property tax levy.
- The budget focuses on public safety and factors in $60 million of DNR-mandated projects.
As a long-time Oshkosh resident, Joe Gorwitz has seen big changes in his property taxes. “I think I was paying, back in 2002 when I moved in, about $3,200 and now it’s almost up to $4,800,” he says.
This year, his property taxes will likely rise again.
