Property Tax Alert: Wisconsin

April 2007

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue has issued a 2007 property tax assessment appeal guide providing an updated procedure for group appeals. A group petition for reassessment may now be obtained from the Equalization District Supervisor. The basis of the petition must be that the assessment of property in the municipality was not in compliance with the law and that the public interest will be promoted by a reassessment. Further, a verification that a petition contains at least 5% of the assessed value of all property in the municipality is now required for the Department to hold a public hearing.
