The Board of Review meets annually when the assessment roll is completed, the date may be postponed to a later time. You may contact the Clerk’s office for the exact date.

A publication will also be in the Oshkosh Northwestern approximately 10 days prior to the Board of Review. The purpose of the Board of Review is to give property owners the opportunity to appeal the value of their property as set by the assessor. The appeal must be made on the current year assessment only.

The Board of Review is a formal hearing, whereby oral testimony is taken relative to your assessment based on comparative values of other similar homes or a recent appraisal or other relevant material. The members serving on the Board of Review use your information to determine if the assessment should be changed. The determination of the Board is the final determination and the Assessment rolls are then accepted as final. There is a further appeal procedure, which is outlined by state statutes.

The Open Book Session is usually held prior to the Board of Review at the Municipal Building. This is an informal time to meet with the assessor to review your assessment. The assessor may make any corrections at that time. If no adjustment is made and you wish to pursue, you would then make an appointment to appear at the Board of Review. It is necessary to fill out a form relevant to your property.
