Furthermore, the house doesn’t have any Homeowners Association (HOA) fees. Although the property is still expensive, no HOA fees can be a plus. The annual property taxes were $13,884.28 in 2022, per Waukesha County records.
However, the tax amount excludes land, additions, and total assessments. In the 2021 tax year, the total assessments amounted to $1,996,300. This property was recently renovated by Deep River Partners and Northgreen Builders.
