How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About Marinette County, WI
Marinette County’s effective property tax rate of 1.202% sits below Wisconsin’s statewide median of 1.362%, placing it 54th among the state’s 72 counties. That ranking signals a lighter-than-average tax load within Wisconsin, though the picture shifts against national norms: the U.S. median effective rate is 0.794%, so homeowners here still pay proportionally more than the country as a whole. On a median home value of $158,600, the annual tax bill comes to about $1,907. With median household income at $63,809 and per-capita income of $36,118, that levy amounts to roughly 3% of a typical household’s yearly earnings. Communities such as Crivitz, Coleman, and Amberg fall within the county, where property taxes land below the state midpoint but above the national one.
