Board of Review
The Board of Review is a quasi-judicial body where property owners and the assessor present sworn testimony and evidence to support their opinions of assessed value. Under Wisconsin law, the assessor’s valuation is presumed correct unless the property owner provides direct evidence to the contrary.
After reviewing the evidence, the Board may affirm, adjust, or request more information before making a decision. When the Board votes to adjourn, all assessments for that year are certified as final. The Board of Review is the last opportunity each year to challenge a property assessment.
