Florence County — Wisconsin's Most Affordable Northwoods County

Florence County holds a distinction shared by very few Wisconsin counties — it was formally designated by the USDA Economic Research Service as a high-recreation retirement destination, recognizing the combination of natural amenities, low cost of living, and recreational access that draws retirees and second-home buyers from across the Midwest. With an average annual property tax bill of just $1,850 — 45% below Wisconsin's state average — Florence County is one of the most cost-efficient counties in the state for property ownership. Average lot sizes run 3 acres, most parcels fall between 1 and 20 acres, and the county borders Michigan's Upper Peninsula, giving residents access to the Iron Mountain, Michigan metro area just across the Menominee River. The county is named after Florence Terry Hulst, the wife of a Milwaukee iron company official — one of the few Wisconsin counties named after a woman.
