It is a maintenance assessment year in Wind Point, meaning the Village Assessor will be reviewing property sales data and accounting for new construction and demolished properties in the assessment roll. Properties with improvements in the past year may be reviewed by the assessor, but there will not be village-wide inspections as there are in a revaluation year like 2016. If the assessor has made a change to your assessment in 2018, you will receive an assessment change notice in mid-April.
Property owners have an opportunity to discuss their property assessment with the assessor at Open Book on Thursday, April 26 between 10 a.m. and noon at the Village Office. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are recommended. To make an appointment, contact Associated Appraisal at 1-800-721-4157 or by email at [email protected]. If you are not able to attend Open Book, you are welcome to contact the assessor anytime at the same phone number and e-mail address.
If you disagree with your property’s assessment, it is recommended that you first contact the assessor to review your assessment. If you have discussed the matter with the assessor, and you are still not satisfied, make arrangements with the Village to appear before the Board of Review, which will take place on Tuesday, May 29 at 5:30 p.m. at the Village Hall (lighthouse). For information on how to appeal an assessment and for other related information, contact the Village Office or see the Wisconsin Department of Revenue’s Guide for Property Owners.
