Notice of the Board of Review
For the Town of Cooperstown
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review for the Town of
Cooperstown, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, shall hold its first meeting
on the 10th day of June, 2008 at 7 pm for postponement, second meeting
on the 11th of June from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Cooperstown Town hall.
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 the 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
s. 73.03 (2a), Wis. Stats., that the Assessor requests. The Town of
Cooperstown 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 be telephone.
Notice is hereby given this 23rd day of May 2008.
Respectfully submitted,
Town of Cooperstown
