Title
Resolution relating to correction of the 2021 tax roll.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the City Treasurer to post a credit in the City’s accounting records to the personal property account of each taxpayer over-assessed for personal property taxes for 2021. It further directs the City Treasurer to mail each taxpayer whose 2021 personal property account was credited notice of the correction.
Body
Whereas, Personal property assessments for 2021 were not equalized according to Wisconsin Department of Revenue regulations; and
Whereas, Failing to equalize personal property assessments in 2021 resulted in an over-assessment of personal property taxes for each taxpayer assessed; and
Whereas, Wisconsin statute 74.33(1), Wis. Stats., permits the Common Council to correct errors relating to the computation of tax; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City Treasurer is authorized to post a credit in the City’s accounting records to the personal property account of each taxpayer over-assessed for personal property taxes for 2021; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Treasurer is directed to mail each taxpayer whose 2021 personal property account was credited notice of the correction.
