June 11, 2008 Assessment Information 

Town of Brooklyn 
Assessment facts

Property owners in the town were recently mailed a new notice of
assessment, an explanation letter along with a copy of an article
published by the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance.

A detailed sales analysis was performed and a valuation model built to
develop uniform and equitable values relative to the current market
for all properties.  The average increase was 28%.   If your
assessment increased by this percentage, your tax bill mailed in
December 2008 will resemble last year’s amount due.

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) has suggested that property
values have increased substantially in the past year, Residential 7%
and Commercial 3%.  Large acreage parcels not assessed under
“Agricultural Use Value” are valued at market value, the acre values
indicated by DOR are;

$12,000 per acre  -  Fallow Tillable Lands
$  3,500 per acre  -  Undeveloped Lands (swamp)
$10,000 per acre  -  Forest

Property owners having a differing opinion of value should present the
staff of Grota Appraisals documentation for further consideration by
making an open book appointment or sending documentation to the office
of Grota Appraisals.
