How property taxes in Platteville have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median real estate taxes	$3,083 (±$169)	$3,404 (±$341)	+10.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$152,400 (±$8,788)	$200,100 (±$27,243)	+31.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$1,246 (±$97)	$1,588 (±$237)	+27.4%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.
