What should I say to the Board at the time of my hearing?
Wisconsin Law states the Board of Review must uphold the Assessor’s valuation unless the property owner proves the value to be wrong. Therefore, the property owner must give sworn oral testimony and evidence relating to the value of the property. This evidence can be a recent sale of the property, sales of comparable properties, recent appraisals, or other such evidence that would give the Board of Review cause to change the assessment.
