Wisconsin shall meet on the 30th day of September 2013 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Verona City Hall
Council Chambers, 111 Lincoln Street, Verona, WI 53593.
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 a 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 requested information about income and expenses, as specified in the
Assessor’s manual under Sec. 73.03(2a) of Wis. Statutes. The City of Verona ordinance no. 99-604 protects the
confidentiality of information about income and expenses provided to the Assessor. 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,
City of Verona
