Notice of the Board of Review For the Town of Brooklyn
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review for
the Town of Brooklyn of Green Lake County shall hold its
meetings on the 17th day of July, 2008 and July 23, 2008 both
days from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Town Hall. N5988 County Road A,
Green Lake, WI
Please be advised of the following requirements to appear
before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if
appearing before the Board:
No person shall be allowed to appear before
the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone or
to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal
property if the person has refused a reasonable written
request by certified mail of the Assessor to view such
property.
After the first meeting of the Board of Review
and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is
scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact, or
provide information to a member of the Board about the
person’s objection except at a session of the Board.
No person may appear before the Board of
Review, testify to the Board by telephone or contest the
amount of the assessment unless, at least 48 hours before
the first meeting of the Board or at least 48 hours before
the objection is heard if the objection is allowed because
the person has been granted a waiver of the 48-hour notice
of an intent to file a written objection by appearing before
the Board during the first two hours of the meeting and
showing good cause for failure to meet the 48-hour notice
requirement and files a written objection, that the person
provides to the clerk of the Board of Review notice as to
whether the person will ask for removal of any Board members
and, if so, which member will be removed and the person’s
reasonable estimate of the length of time that the hearing will
take.
When appearing before the Board of Review, the
person shall specify, in writing, the 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
that the person used to arrive at that estimate.
No person may appear before the Board of
Review, testify to the Board or 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 the
person supplies the Assessor all the information about income
and expenses, as specified in the Assessor’s manual under
Sec. 73.03 (2a) of Wis. Statutes, that the Assessor requests. The
Town Brooklyn has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information
about income and expenses that is provided to the Assessor under
this paragraph which provides exceptions for persons using
information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the
duties of their office or by order of a court. The information
that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that
it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and
copying under Sec. 19.35 (1) of Wis. Statutes.
The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone,
all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a
letter from a physician, surgeon or osteopath that confirms
their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by
telephone.
Respectfully submitted,
Town of Brooklyn
