Analysis
Pursuant to 2007 Wisconsin Act 86, this ordinance makes a number of changes to the procedures and duties of the board of review and commissioner of assessments. Specifically, this ordinance provides that:
1. The board shall grant a taxpayer a 60-day extension for a hearing related to the taxpayer’s objection to an assessment if the taxpayer submits to the board, along with the objection, a request for an extension and a $100 fee.
2. Each taxpayer who submits an assessment objection (regardless of whether the taxpayer has requested the 60-day extension) and the commissioner shall present to the board all evidence to support their respective positions. If the taxpayer receives a 60-day extension, at least 10 days before the scheduled board hearing, the taxpayer and the commissioner shall simultaneously exchange all reports, documents and exhibits that the taxpayer and commissioner will present at the hearing.
3. Each year, at least 60 days prior to the first day on which the board hears objections, the commissioner shall publish, on the city’s internet site, the last day on which a taxpayer may submit an assessment objection. The commissioner shall also include information on this deadline with the notices of changed assessment that the commissioner mails to property owners.
