This statement was intentionally inserted into the referendum statement to try and alleviate concerns about the personal cost of zoning to Cady residents.
I already pointed out that per Wisconsin state law, 70.32(1g), the assessor shall consider the effect on the value of the property of any zoning ordinance.
Additionally, according to the Wisconsin Towns Association website:
Town zoning with village powers can be manpower and cost intensive. Both a plan commission and a zoning board of appeals will need to be staffed. The town will bear all costs of ordinance creation and amendment, administration and enforcement. Enforcement in particular includes ordinance prosecutions by the town attorney as well as the initiation of and defense against lawsuits related to the town’s zoning.
Question: How is the Town of Cady going to support these expenses if they do not raise property taxes?
Answer: They'll have to do it through permitting fees and penalties, which is just another name for taxes.
Just say "NO" to Zoning in Cady on November 6.
Our property rights are just too precious to surrender.
