Butternut, WI — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 54861, near Butternut, the county's 1.42% effective property tax rate shapes what owning a home actually costs. With per-capita income at $19,379, each $100,000 of home value carries roughly $1,420 in annual property taxes — a sum that eats into earnings quickly at this income level. A 5.50% combined sales tax adds further pressure on day-to-day spending.
