BOARD OF REVIEW MAY 14, 2025 6-8 PM
Property owner
An objecting property owner must meet certain requirements and responsibilities before appearing at the BOR and
while at the BOR .
Property owner must:
• Allow the assessor onto the property to conduct an exterior view . Sec . 70 .47(7)(aa), Wis . Stats . provides that the
BOR may deny a hearing to a property owner who does not allow the assessor to complete an exterior view .
However, the Wisconsin Supreme Court expressed due process concerns regarding a similarly worded statute
in Milewski v. Town of Dover, 2017 WI 79, 377 Wis .2d 38, 899 N .W .2d 303 . It is DOR’s recommendation to allow a
BOR hearing even if the property owner denied an interior or exterior view . The lack of access to view, and the
credibility of evidence offered can be managed as an evidentiary issue at a BOR hearing, rather than denying
access to the BOR .
• Provide written or oral notice of intent to file an objection to the BOR clerk at least 48 hours before the first
scheduled BOR meeting . If the property owner is requesting a member be removed, the property owner must
also mention it at this time, along with an estimate of the length of the hearing .
• Complete the entire written objection form (PA-115A), including an estimate of value and file it with the BOR clerk
during the first two hours of the first meeting
• Object to only the total valuation of the land and the improvements of a particular parcel
• Not contact a BOR member or give the BOR member information about the objection except at a BOR hearing
• Present factual evidence that supports the opinion of value stated on the objection form . An objector may then
ask the assessor questions .
• Hire legal counsel or other suitable representation if unable to attend the BOR hearing personally
