No clear pattern among local governments adopting wheel taxes
There appears to be no clear pattern among the more than 20 local governments that have adopted local vehicle registration fees, also known as wheel taxes, in the past few years. The list includes the state’s two largest counties (Milwaukee and Dane) as well as some of its smallest (Green, Lincoln, and Iowa); some of the largest cities (Milwaukee, Appleton), as well as some of the smallest municipalities (city of Lodi, town of Arena).
