(Waukesha, WI) – On Tuesday, October 22, 2024, Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow withdrew from consideration an ordinance to implement a 0.5% county sales tax. Under the proposal the sales tax was scheduled to take effect July 1, 2025.
County Executive Paul Farrow released this statement following his decision to withdraw the ordinance from consideration.
“My decision to withdraw the sales tax ordinance from consideration is democracy in action. Postponing the measure will allow for more public input and provide for an opportunity to educate residents on the county’s financial challenges. I will work with the County Board to examine possible legislative remedies, including the potential to levy less than the 0.5% county sales tax currently allowed under state law,” Paul Farrow said.
