70.045 Taxation district defined. Except as provided in s. 70.114 (1) (e), in this chapter, 'taxation district' means a town, village or city in which general property taxes are levied and collected.History: 1989 a. 336; 1991 a. 39 s. 3714.A utility district established under s. 66.0827 is not a taxation district under this section, which means the utility district may not impose property taxes at all; only the municipality may do so. Although a town may establish a utility district, the town itself levies the taxes to fund the district; the town later allocates the funds raised to the utility district.
