How much has the City received in shared revenue from Act 12?

While increases in shared revenue from the State of Wisconsin have provided a much-needed boost in municipal funds, it is not enough to offset the decades of underfunding and rising costs.  The City received an additional $125,441 in 2025, which has been used to fund general City operating expenses.  This amount, while helpful, has not come close to covering the funding gap across all services from the last decade of levy limits. 

 

The average increase to the base revenue share payments to cities was 41% in 2026 with the City of Tomahawk receiving an increase of 19%.
