Board of Review Dates

Below are listed the dates for Open Book and Board of Review to address your property assessments.  This information is also available on the Dept. of Revenue site at State-Wide BOR Calendar

Objection Form for Real Property Assessment (pdf) Section 70.47(7)(a), Wisconsin Statutes states “ No person shall be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless such written objection has been filed and such person in good faith presented evidence to such board in support of such objection and made full disclosure before said board . . .”

Note: The Board of Review can hear only sworn oral testimony regarding the value of the property. It cannot hear protests regarding the amount of property taxes or questions of exemption. The best evidence of the value of your property is a recent arm’s-length sale of your property. The next best evidence is recent arm’s-length sales of comparable property. If there are no sales of your property or comparable property, you should present other evidence that indicates the value of your property. This would include cost, income, appraisals, and sales of like property.
