following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural
requirements if appearing before the Board of Review:
1.
After the first meeting of the Board of Review
and before the Board of Review’s final judgement, no person who is scheduled to
appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a
member of the Board of Review about the person’s objection, except at a session
of the Board of Review. Open book shall
occur no less than 7 days prior to the Board of Review.
2.
The Board of Review may not hear an objection to
the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board
of Review’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board of
Review Clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except
that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection,
the Board of Review shall waive that requirement during the first 2 hours of
the Board of Review’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board of Review may
waive that requirement up to the end of the 5th day of the session,
or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than 5
days, with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour
notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the
first 2 hours of the first scheduled meeting.

Objections to the amount or valuation of
property shall first be made in writing and filed with the Board of Review
Clerk within the first 2 hours of the Board of Review’s first scheduled
meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board
of Review may waive that requirement up to the end of the 5th day of
the session, or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is

may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted
on forms approved by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, and the Board of
Review shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property
in question. Persons who own land and
improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land
and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to
that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the
valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action
or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the
written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented
evidence to the Board of Review in support of the objections and made full
disclosure before the Board of Review, under oath, of all of that person’s
property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that
property. The requirement that
objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.

objecting person shall specify in writing that person’s estimate of the value
of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s
objection and specify the information used to arrive at that estimate.
5.
No person may appear before the Board of Review,
testify to the Board of Review by telephone, or object to a valuation if that
valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of
valuation, unless no later than 7 days before the first meeting of the Board of
Review, the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income
and expenses that the assessor requests, as specified in Assessor’s Manual
Under Wis. Stat. §73.03(2a). The Town of
Ashippun has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income
and expenses that is provided to the

telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the board a letter from a
physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice nurse prescriber certified
under Wis. Stat. §441.16(2) that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by telephone
unless the Board of Review, in its discretion, has determined to grant a property
owner’s or their representative’s request to testify under oath by telephone or
written statement.

No person may appear before the Board of Review,
testify to the Board of Review by telephone, or contest the amount of any
assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board of
Review, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is
allowed under Wis. Stat. §70.47(3)(a), that person provides notice to the Board
of Review Clerk as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member

estimate of the length of time the hearing will take.

board of review, to testify to the board by telephone or to contest the amount

assessed.
