Wisconsin Town Revaluation

In Wisconsin, towns are required to conduct a revaluation of all taxable property at least once every five years to ensure property values accurately reflect current market conditions. This process is necessary to fairly distribute the property tax burden among all property owners to ensure that taxes are distributed fairly. The revaluation process involved an on-site exterior review of properties and may include an on-site interior review to confirm or update data. Property owners will receive a written notice of assessment at the conclusion of the revaluation process, and they have an opportunity to discuss the assessed values with the assessment staff at Open Book. For more detailed information on the revaluation process, property owners can refer to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue’s 2025 Guide to Property Owners or download the Revaluation FAW PDF Wisconsin Property Assessment Manual
