Mission Statement
The mission of the City of Waukesha is to provide quality service delivery at an affordable tax rate. Land use zoning incorporating residential/business/commercial attractive neighborhoods/districts sets the identity of who we are. The seat of Waukesha County government is located in our city boundary, as well as 800 non-profit properties, meeting individual needs whether social or religious. The importance of redevelopment rather than massive raw land development is also a mission of our community.
