Notice of the 2010 Board of Review
For the Town of Ridgeway
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review for the Town of
Ridgeway of Iowa County shall convene from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on
Tuesday, May 25, 2010, at the Town Hall, 6300 Prairie Road, Ridgeway,
Wisconsin.
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 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 Sec. 73.03 (2a) of
Wis. Statutes, that the Assessor requests. The Town of Ridgeway has
a policy 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 by telephone.
Respectfully submitted,
Town of Ridgeway
Nancy Parkos/Clerk
