The Property Assessment Appeal Guide for Wisconsin Real Property Owners suggests: “When you meet with the assessor you should ask questions to help you understand the assessment process and how your assessment was determined. Ask the assessor to show you the records for your property and to explain how your assessment was determined. Make sure the size, age, condition, number of bathrooms and other physical characteristics of your property are correct. Also, if you know of recent sales of property in your area, bring them to the attention of the assessor. An informal discussion with the assessor can often resolve a problem before bringing an appeal to the BOR.”
'
Board of Review Meeting
If you have decided to appeal to the BOR, you must file an objection form with the BOR clerk prior to or during the first two hours of the BOR’s first scheduled meeting. If you do not file a completed objection form, the BOR may refuse to act on your appeal.
As part of your appeal, you must present evidence proving the assessor’s value is wrong or your assessment will not be changed.
