Bill > AB603

This bill requires cities, villages, and towns to provide written notice to property owners at least seven days before a tax assessor enters their property to conduct a property tax assessment. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision to Wisconsin state statutes (section 70.05) that mandates local taxation districts must send a written notification to the property owner in advance of an assessment. Property tax assessments are routine evaluations of a property's value that are used to determine the amount of property tax an owner will pay. The purpose of this bill appears to be increasing transparency and giving property owners advance warning before an official enters their property for assessment purposes, which could help reduce potential surprises or conflicts between property owners and local government tax officials.
