Property Assessments- Board of Review

The Village contracts with Affiliated Appraisal LLC for municipal assessment services. Contact Dan McHugh at 262-383-9471 or Patti Raduenz 262-758-3681 

Whenever the assessor changes the total assessment of any real property the owner must be notified in writing and mailed at least 15 days prior to the Board of Review meeting (and at least 30 days in a revaluation year). Assessment notices have been mailed on June 9, 2025

A revaluation is done by the assessor when the property records are outdated or inaccurate, assessment uniformity is poor, a full revaluation hasn’t been done for 10 years, or reassessment is required under state law. A full revaluation includes on-site inspections (interior and exterior), measuring and listing all buildings, taking photos, and sketching buildings.

If possible, you should first arrange to meet with the Village Assessor to examine your assessment records. When you meet with your assessor, review the records for your property and discuss how your assessment was made. If you are unable to meet privately with your assessor, you should attend “Open Book.”

 “Open book” refers to a period of time before the Board of Review when the completed assessment roll is open for examination. Open book for 2025 is June 16 through June 27, 2025. Please fill out an Open Book form and submit it to the Village Staff. The Assessor is available by appointment only - an Open Book form is required 

If you have discussed the matter with the Assessor, and you are still not satisfied, you will need to make arrangements with the Village Clerk to appear before the Board of Review. To assure a hearing, you must provide a written or oral notice of your intent to file an objection to the Village Clerk at least 48 hours before the first scheduled meeting of the Board of Review (or, for a late BOR, the first scheduled meeting after the roll is complete) under sec. 70.47(7)(a).

In addition, the BOR may waive the 48-hour notice deadline if it is shown good cause and you submit an objection form PA-115A prior to or during the first two hours of the BOR's first scheduled meeting, the BOR may waive the 48-hour notice. You must object to the TOTAL value, and if it is an improved parcel, you cannot object to only the land value or only the improvement value. 

 An objection form can be downloaded from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
